This package contains the software necessary to use the virtual frame buffer technology in AIXWindows. The software allows rendering images to system memory instead of a graphics adapter. This is particularly useful for servers which render images that can be downloaded to client workstations for viewing. The Virtual Frame Buffer Software has a single package, X11.vfb.
Note: There are no options in the X11.vfb package. It is standalone.
