Confirmed on Arch Linux as well, where a pacman -S xorg-server-xvfb allows the command to run.

Should xvfb be listed as a requirement in the README? Or is there a way to fork out to the browser without it? Note that without xvfb, testling -u works (as has been mentioned), as does testling -x chromium.

I’ve only taken over maintaining the package for a few weeks 😃 I’ll get to it.
