$program: a hack to run a stock Xorg(1) or XFree86(1) X server with the
"dummy" video driver such that it AVOIDS the Linux VT switching, keyboard
mouse conflicts, etc associated with normal use of "dummy".
A hack to run a stock Xorg(1) or XFree86(1) X server with the "dummy"
(RAM-only framebuffer) video driver such that it AVOIDS the Linux VT
switching, opening device files in /dev, keyboard and mouse conflicts,
and other problems associated with the normal use of "dummy".
In other words, try to make Xorg/XFree86 with the Device "dummy" driver
act more like Xvfb(1).
In other words, it tries to make Xorg/XFree86 with the "dummy"
device driver act more like Xvfb(1).
To achieve this, while running the real Xserver $program intercepts system
and library calls via the LD_PRELOAD method and modifies the behavior
to make it work correctly (i.e. avoid the VT stuff). LD_PRELOAD tricks
are usually "clever hacks" and so might not work in all situations or
break when something changes.
The primary motivation for the Xdummy script is to provide a virtual X
server for x11vnc but with more features than Xvfb (or Xvnc); however
it could be used for other reasons (e.g. better automated testing
than with Xvfb.) One nice thing is the dummy server supports RANDR
dynamic resizing while Xvfb does not.
