Xvfb on linux

[Edwin Ruiz_2]

I want to configure X server on Redhat linux 7.2 because Oracle console give problems. I know that HP-Ux i configure Xvfb, but i dont know how on linux. Somebody can help me?

xvfb is specific for HP-UX.

What you need to do is run the Xconfigurator on Red Hat to set up the X server.

You may need to get the rpm's for the x86 X server from http://www.redhat.com

Here it is:

I'm wrong. Xvfb has been done or ported for Solaris and other Unix distributions.

My prior post however will work with red hat and get you going with oracle. I strongly recommend an update to Red Hat 7.3

to do X setup on 7.2, while login as root do the following

sorry, if this did not sound gentle.

Offense never intended

but of course SEP is right his link explains it much better.

points are just a way to figure out how help-full we have been to you

otherwise how would we measure this ?

Is your problem solved, did you get X up and running on your 7.2 ?

Run Xconfigurator as told by Steven.

On Redhat RPM site, get XFree86-Xvfb-4-1.1.0-49.RHEL.i386.rpm file & install using
# rpm -ivh XFree86-Xvfb-4-1.1.0-49.RHEL.i386.rpm.

To let it start while system boots, make a file /etc/rc3.d/S91xvfb & link it to /etc/init.d/xvfb.

Put following line in xvfb file :
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :15 -screen 0 6x6x8 -pn -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc -sp /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy 2>&1 &
