Bug Description

Binary package hint: xvfb

Somewhere between breezy and dapper, Xvfb lost support for the -fbdir command-line argument.

However the xvfb manpage states that -fbdir is available on systems that provide mmap and msysnc, so one would expect -fbdir to work on Linux.

Either the implementation or the manpage is wrong.
