Package: xvfb
Version: 2:1.12.4-4
Severity: normal

Xvfb(1) says:

EXAMPLES
       Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1600x1200x32
               The server will listen for connections as server number 1,  and
               screen 0 will be depth 32 1600x1200.


but in practice:

--------------------
0 dkg@alice:~/tmp$ Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1600x1200x32

Fatal server error:
Couldn't add screen 0
1 dkg@alice:~/tmp$ 
--------------------

So either Xvfb is broken, or the man page is wrong.

Thanks for maintaining xvfb in debian,
