Package: xvfb
Version: 2:1.1.1-21etch5
Severity: normal
The man page suggest ths as an example:
Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1600x1200x32
and it crashes with this error:
Fatal server error:
Couldn't add screen 0
The problem is the depth, x24 works fine but xvncviewer doesn't like
that and moves down to x16 which is no use for me.
