Am not of much help here, except to say that I'm using Xvfb on Linux with 9iAS and it works fine.

The only problem I had was with xauth'ing which I dealt with a large hammer and a command line switch. :-)

What does the details of that error tell? Have you tried to xwd the virtual screen when this happens to see what (if anything) has been displayed on it?

That's what I would think too.
