This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative.
Xvfb was part of the RHEL6 beta that shipped last year. Googling around a bit reveals that the package xorg-x11-server-Xvfb-1.7.7-26.el6.x86_64.rpm exists and was officially built by Red Hat. It seems to me that it was simply forgotten on the DVD. Could you clarify this issue please? As a paying customer I do not like prepared statements like those in Comment #2. I prefer someone actually looking at the problem I am reporting.
For official Red Hat Enterprise Linux support, please log into the Red Hat support website at https://access.redhat.com/home and file a support ticket. Also, package xorg-x11-server-Xvfb is not on the DVD, because it is now in the Optional packages.
Thanks a lot. Exactly that kind of reply and explanation I had hoped for. Regards, Peter.
