    Hi Daniele,

    "You can use xvfb (X Virtual Frame Buffer) to open a X server and set DISPLAY=:<yourdisplay>.0"

    You make it sound so simple. You have to remember my Linux skills are only slightly above average ;o)

    If I login to my test server (Suse enterprise server 10 with no x11 running) then it says "command not found" when I type "Xvfb" (logged in as root). Does it come as standard?

    Kerr. If you asked me that at teh time I was neck-deep in it I would have been able to write a whole piece on it. Such were the complexities that I've scrubbed it from my mind for the sake of my sanity. Something to do with fonts and .lib and .so files. Never did get to the bottom of it...
