Although it's actually not ignoring options completely. using e.g. "-extension blaa" gives an error message and a list of switchable extensions. Using "-extension Composite" however apparently has no effect!

This server uses Xvfb, as I use librsvg in my software, and it apparently requires Xvfb. I am trying to resolve an issue: Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":3.0" My research indicates that this is due to XINERAMA. Looking at Xvfb, I see that Xvfb hase two options that may be helpful : '-xinerama' to not use XINERAMA, and '-extension XXX' to not use that extension. The problem is, Xvfb completely ignores both of these options. I've tried every premutation I can think of, and I always get this when starting Xvfb "Initializing built-in extension XINERAMA". I have tried to disable other extensions just to see if '-extension' would prevent any extension from being loaded, and it does not. No command line options change what extensions are being loaded.
