All A bunch of problem reports came in overnight related to lsb-vsw4. The test strategy (employed by the lsb version of vsw4) uses the X Virtual Frame Buffer. Some implementations do not have an xvfb with "backing store" enabled. This can cause a large number of tests to be resolved . See problems 85 thru 87 http://www.opengroup.org:8000/lsb/publicpr/PRSummary Also http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1061 The choice is to (1) require that the implementation provide an xvfb which is configured with backing store to run the tests and reject the problem report on those grounds. There is nothing that states that the xvfb has to be the one installed on the system, the one used for testing could be a different instance,historically xvfb has worked ok out of the box. or (2) grant a TSD waiver for these tests, which implies that these tests would be rewritten not to require that the display has backing store. Since this is test setup required to run these tests, and a conscious choice by the test developers, I would lean towards 1. regards Andrew
