Bug Description
`xvfb` is at version `2:21.1.3-2ubuntu2` which is the latest one. However, `xvfb-run -h` doesn't show the `--auto-display` argument and running `xvfb-run --auto-display ls` leads to `xvfb-run: unrecognized option '--auto-display'`. This is strange because in Arch Linux, the same `xvfb-run` version does support `--auto-display`. On Ubuntu one must use `--auto-servernum` because of that but that has been deprecated for quite a while now.
summary: |
- `xvfb-run` doesn't support `--auto-servernum` + `xvfb-run` doesn't support `--auto-display` |

Thank you for your bug report. The script isn't part of upstream xorg-server, where did you see that --auto-servernum has been deprecated?
The script for Debian (and such Ubuntu) is on /salsa. debian. org/xorg- team/xserver/ xorg-server/ -/blob/ debian- unstable/ debian/ local/xvfb- run

it seems fedora also has a copy which they patched some years ago to mark that option as deprecated and add auto-display instead, unsure what was the motivation behind the change though /src.fedoraproj ect.org/ rpms/xorg- x11-server/ c/9e2c5679
