I am writing some code using OpenGL, and when run under Xvfb on MacOS it

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

Current serial number in output stream: 19
There are a number of different reasons for which XCreateWindow() would
return BadMatch. Check the man page.
I have rebuilt X from XFree86 version 4.7.0 and the error has gone away.
Originally the last line of man Xvfb was
X Version 11 Release 6.6
XVFB(1)
but now it says
XFree86 Version 4.7.0
XVFB(1)
So this looks like it's probably a bug in the Xvfb that Apple distributes,
and the bug isn't present in XFree86 4.7.0. Still, if I could I'd like to
try to work around the bug: any idea where I'd find the source for
the original Xvfb, so I could try to determine what it's complaining about?
Quite a bit of Apple's sources can be found at ...
