I'm trying to use the x11 protocol in a library I'm making and I'm wondering how I can make tests for it. I need to have an x server running, is there some way I can do that automatically through the test lib?

sure, you can start a <https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/man/man1/Xvfb.1.xhtml|Xvfb>. although you'll have to take care in choosing a display number to avoid collisions

oh right, I'm not sure since what version, but with new enough xorg-xserver, you can run `Xvfb -displayfd N` and it'll choose a free display number on its own and print it to file descriptor `N`

xvfb-server.gradle.kts.kt

maybe not the best way to do it, but getting Gradle to auto-start and stop a `Xvfb` for tests is pretty easy
