install xvfb (e.g. Through apt-get if you're using a Debian system)
put the contents of the gist as a file residing at
/etc/init.d/xvfbyou'll probably need to make it executable
chmod +x /etc/init.d/xvfband then you can start it with
/etc/init.d/xvfb startThe script will start the virtual display at
:1so make sure to set your environment variable appropriately (export DISPLAY=:1) before running whatever you want to run inside the virtual x frame buffer.
