FWIW, the bug has also been reported in Ubuntu a few years ago: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1059947. I did some research on snapshot.debian.org, and it seems this mixing of stderr and stdout has always been there since the xvfb-run script was added to the xvfb package. I'll commit the patch to git in a few days, unless somebody objects or beats me to it. Cheers, Sven
