I have just tried running Xvfb from a Pre-build script.

I first tried the same command that the plugin created, but just from 
command line on the server:
Xvfb :1 -screen 0  -fbdir 
/var/lib/jenkins/xvfb-106-4356636144193454909.fbdir
I get error:
Invalid screen configuration -fbdir for -screen 0

If I run just:
Xvfb :1 &
export DISPLAY=:1
then my tests fail with:

Error: no display specified
because, of course, there is no way to export a variable from a pre-build 
script.


:(
