The scripts should start Xvfb automatically; make sure it's in the path.

I read somewhere that some people have had to start it once manually to force it to create its sockets. I didn't have to do that, but you might.

        ProjectX is set up to run on Xvfb (virtual frame buffer) on
        :33 by the mythburn script. Make sure you have Xvfb installed.
        Sorry, I'm at work and don't have the link to where I got it from.

    Thanks!
    I do appear to have xorg-x11-Xvfb-6.8.2-37.FC4.48.1 installed on
    my FC4 box. Does it have to be enabled? Sorry if I am asking quite
    the n00b question, but I have not had to deal with this before :)

    I am running an FC4 box using Axel's RPMs with an NVidia 5500 card
    ... if that helps any

    Thanks again... WAF is extremely HIGH and this would put it over
    the edge (meaning I would be allowed to buy more "toys" w/out
    questions...)

I seem to remeber that it may be a permissions problem on the virtual x display created by Xvfb. I had a similar problem.

Check mythburn/scripts/remplex.sh for a line similar to the following:

              ${XVFB} :33 -screen 0 640x480x8 2> /dev/null > /dev/null &

I changed the line by adding the -ac flag:

${XVFB} :33 -ac -screen 0 640x480x8 2> /dev/null > /dev/null &

which tells Xvfb to allow all clients to connect. I think you may be able to create a X29.hosts file and point Xvfb at it (with the -auth parameter?) which contains a list of hosts allowed to connect, but using the -ac and allowing anyone worked for me.

Hope it helps

Paul
