The second line is an identically run instance for comparison, run for a minute.
Run as: Xvfb -screen 0 1680x1024x24 -ac -nolisten tcp :5
I'm using this to run cairo's make check once every four hours. No clients currently connected:
darxus@dancer:~$ DISPLAY=:5 xlsclients darxus@dancer:~$
For thoroughness, the (only) command I'm running against this display, from cairo's git, is: DISPLAY=:5 CAIRO_REF_DIR=$HOME/source/cairo-ref.xcb-image.xvfb.script CAIRO_TEST_TARGET=xcb,image,image16 make test
Xvfb has been running for almost five days.
