 The dummy packages in the xpra repositories include those patches.

 Ubuntu does weird things with their Xorg server which prevents it from running Xdummy (tty permission issues).
 
-Status: at time of writing, Xdummy can be used with 16.10 (aka "yakkety") but not with earlier versions. (see r14327)

-(The following workaround has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 server.
 
-* make sure you have ''xserver-xorg-video-dummy'' package installed.
-* add the user who is going to start xpra/xdummy on the server to the following three groups: ''tty'', ''video'' and ''dialout'' (these are the groups {{{/dev/tty*}}}, {{{/dev/fb0}}} and {{{/dev/dri/card0}}} devices belong to)
-{{{
-sudo adduser username groupname
-}}}
-* fully reboot the server. Group membership change does not take effect until a new log in.
-* login to the server remotely (e.g. via ssh) and start the xpra using commands like this:
-{{{
-xpra --xvfb="Xorg -noreset -nolisten tcp +extension GLX \
-    -config /etc/xpra/xorg.conf \
-    +extension RANDR +extension RENDER -logfile ${HOME}/.xpra/Xorg-10.log" \
-    start :100
-}}}
-If that works, you can then place this same xvfb option in your global config file ''/etc/xpra/xpra.conf''.
-
-Note, if you are running an instance of Xorg locally on the server (e.g. using it as a desktop with a monitor attached), you need to start xpra server ''before'' starting the local xorg instance, or some permission issues may prevent you from starting xorg.

-That's all! Using this method, I am able to run xpra with xdummy on an ubuntu 14.04 server)

 === non-suid binary ===
 If you distribution ships the newer version but only installs a suid Xorg binary, Xpra should have installed the [/browser/xpra/trunk/src/scripts/xpra_Xdummy xpra_Xdummy] wrapper script and configured xpra.conf to use it instead of the regular Xorg binary.
