Enabling Xvfb for HP-UX

  To enable Xvfb:

1. Log on to the computer on which you are running the Reporting and Analysis Web application server components as the root user.

2. Determine whether Virtual Frame Buffer support is available on your computer by issuing the following command:

   swlist -l product |  grep  'Xserver cumulative patch'

3. Ensure that the patch level installed on your system corresponds with HP's recommended level (currently PHSS_31293).

4. Copy /etc/X11/X0screens to /etc/X11/X1screens, where 1 is a display number not already in use; for example:

   cp /etc/X11/X0screens /etc/X11/X1screens

5. Edit /etc/X11/X1screens by adding these lines to the end of the file:

        ServerOptions
        ServerMode XVfb

6. Start Xvfb:

   nohup /usr/bin/X11/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x800x8 \
   -pn -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc -sp /etc/X11/SecurityPolicy &
   

   where :1 is the display number not already in use.
