Thank you for your bug report. The script isn't part of upstream xorg- server, where did you see that --auto-servernum has been deprecated?
The script for Debian (and such Ubuntu) is on https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/xserver/xorg-server/-/blob/debian-unstable/debian/local/xvfb-run it seems fedora also has a copy which they patched some years ago to mark that option as deprecated and add auto-display instead, unsure what was the motivation behind the change though https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xorg-x11-server/c/9e2c5679 ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1976249 Title: `xvfb-run` doesn't support `--auto-servernum` Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: `xvfb` is at version `2:21.1.3-2ubuntu2` which is the latest one. However, `xvfb-run -h` doesn't show the `--auto-display` argument and running `xvfb-run --auto-display ls` leads to `xvfb-run: unrecognized option '--auto-display'`. This is strange because in Arch Linux, the same `xvfb-run` version does support `--auto-display`. On Ubuntu one must use `--auto-servernum` because of that but that has been deprecated for quite a while now.
