Description
PSARC 2002/282 made the Virtual Frame Buffer into a loadable DDX module.
The new "-dev vfb" option to Xsun needs to be documented, as well as the
change to make Xvfb just a variant of Xsun with this option  & the null keyboard/mouse options active by default.

From the ARC case:



        With this project Xsun can add a separate screen to the display
        without the presence of framebuffer hardware for that screen.
        This is done by specifying a psuedo device on the Xsun command
        line. Framebuffer hardware is specified on the Xsun command
        line using "-dev <filename>" (see man Xsun(1)). One X Screen is
        created for each framebuffer device specified with -dev on the
        Xsun command line. The virtual screen is activated by replacing
        "<filename>" with "vfb", that is "-dev vfb". All Xsun command
        line syntax is supported with "-dev vfb" in exactly the same
        form as "-dev <filename>".  Multiple virtual screens are
        supported just like multiple actual screens. Xsun supports a
        maximum of 16 screens total.

The above information is not sufficient to update the Xsun and Xvfb man pages. Please provide the following information: 

Xsun man page
-------------

- What exactly is the udpated information that needs to go into the man page. 
- Where exactly does the information need to go in this man page. 

Xvfb man page
-------------

- What exactly is the updated information that needs to into this man page. 
- Where exactly does the information need to go in this man page. 

A generic description of the information is not sufficient. Please provide the specific blocks of text. The writer will then apply Sun guidelines to the text, and proceed the man page to the next stage. 


Xsun(1) man page:

	-dev filename
	-dev vfb
	This option specifies the name of the framebuffer device file
	to be used instead of the default framebuffer /dev/fb. Multiple
	instances of this option indicate multiple screens on the same
	server. After each -dev option a list of modifiers changes the
	behavior of the named device.

The Xvfb man page in S10_FCS is up to date wrt. the new vfb device.
