Description

Looks like pyace.py is the only one that needs xvfb now that Chimera can do without. The hold up is imshow function used in ace. I tried setting environment variable MLABRAW_CMD_STR "matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -nodisplay" with no effect. Unless one of you have already found the solution, we may want to investigate a "no display" version of ace one day.

r17352 avoid reset xvfb virtual frame buffer if it is not used, just a clean up that I noticed.

IIRC Scott worked on this while he was still at AMI. Matlab cannot create the final PNG images without having some sort of display. Xvfb was used, so we could run it on a cluster.
