Yes, as Andrew said, the position is: - we need the tests to show conforming behavior of the libraries - in order to make sense, some tests need to have a server running - a server is not part of the LSB requirements - it's far harder to control the setup of a standard server than Xvfb (and there may be impacts based on underlying graphics hardware and other attached devices) - so we expect Xvfb to be available to start, but this is not a requirement of the system under test but rather of the test suite. I think we even supply an Xvfb now. - from the runtime's viewpoint, it doesn't matter which Xvfb you use, as long as it allows you to complete the tests.
