So if I'm on Fedora 17, I already have:

rpm -qf /usr/bin/Xorg
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.12.2-4.fc17.x86_64

So I'm guessing I would need:

https://www.xpra.org/src/Xdummy/Fedora/17/xorg-x11-drv-dummy-0.3.4-9.fc17.x86_64.rpm

And also since X is installed suid, need to follow instructions for that.
 Is that the basic install then?  Any config needed?
