As-is, yes. Strictly speaking, Xvfb is not a kdrive server, in the same sense that Xorg is not a kdrive server. There was a very similar kdrive server named Xfake, and that was indeed deleted. > Any ideas about why the dummy driver was not working (killing the > headless dummy X server brings down any X server running on hardware, > like the dummy X server somehow gets entangled with other X servers > on the system), By default, the Xorg server will remember which virtual terminal it was launched from (if any), and will attempt to switch back to it when it exits (or regenerates). So if you start both the dummy and hardware server from the console, terminating either one will switch back to the console, which may look like you're "bringing down" the other one. You can suppress this by launching the dummy server with '-novtswitch' on the command line. > and problems playing video?
