i was attempting to launch Xvf (virtual x server) and i have noticed that if i specify 32 bit depth i always get this error. Its a bit strange becuase it works perfectly fine for 24bit and 16bit colors.
Xvfb :1 -screen 0 800x600x32&
The error i get is
Fatal server error:
Couldn't add screen 0
If i run in 24bit
Xvfb :1 -screen 0 800x600x24&
No error!
I dont know why!

Your were trying to use the display :0.0 which was probably used/allocated by the current actual X.
When you change the :0 to :1 Xvfb had no problem using the unused screen :1
The problem is how to find the first free screen to use… ?? ls /tmp/X* ??
