Hi Samuel, Thanks very much for the reply. I will definitely look into upgrading to 5.3 and will report back what happens. I agree, setting up virtual machine is not really something that I believe is possible for us at the moment. The weird thing is that it runs fine on CentOS5 which seems a little odd. Ultimately, the Xvfb is a temporary solution until I can identify what is causing ISL scripts to fail when offscreen is set to true. Thanks again for the help Samuel and I will keep the list updated w/any progress I have.
