According to man Xvfb the framebuffer directory can be specified using -fbdir

Comment 1 Adam Tkac 2006-11-30 15:42:55 UTC
I can verify that this problem still exists in fc5, fc6, devel, rhel-5 etc... I
can't find how I can specify Xvfb's output file. Is any new option? Or in
current  versions isn't anyway how map Xvfb's output to file? Thanks for info

Comment 2 Adam Tkac 2007-02-19 20:49:44 UTC
I see progress here. I'm not able to reproduce this bug with latest Xvfb
(xorg-x11-server-Xvfb-1.1.1-47.4.fc6, i386) so I think this is now fixed and you
could close this bug...

Regards, Adam
