PDK patch installation through 'virtuoso -nograph' requiring Xvfb is not working on RHEL 8.x

In the posts Xvfb has replaced cdsXvnc as the -nograph display server and The New Virtuoso nograph Server Xvfb was made default it turns out that Xvfb is the new 'virtuoso -nograph' environment.

However, in RHEL 8.x, Xvfb is not supported by default, and installation may even break the regular Xserver software.

We need to install a PDK patch script, which uses the -nograph option of virtuoso.

The installed version is ISR32, so should be okay, but all we get is:

PDK patch installing ...
cdsXvfb-run[3027647]: ERROR: /usr/bin/Xvfb is missing: checkSysConf should be run and the missing RPM installed.
cdsXvfb-run[3027647]: ERROR: Aborting.

checkSysConfig returns:

============== checkSysConf: Version 3.51 ====================

Configuration checks failed on this workstation (seabert.soficsbv), status is: FAIL

This operating system version '8.0WS' is not supported

If you believe you are running a supported OS then check that
the OS version directory exists in the data directory:
/opt/cadence/current/share/patchData/Linux/x86_64

Exiting checkSysConf ... Good-bye

So it says that RHEL8.x is still not supported...

Thus: installing a patch returns the issue that we have to run the 'checkSysConfig' tool, which in turn says that the OS (RHEL 8.6) is not supported.

The correct RPM (which is thus not stated, but we believe is xorg-x11-server-Xvfb) does NOT exist.

Can you explain how we should proceed?
