Xorg seems to kill EC2 instances (CentOS 5.4)

Question

My end goal is to run firefox in headless mode with xvfb.
But Xvfb requires Xorg, and I'm running into a problem with Xorg.

When I fire up an instance using this AMI:

ami-4a24d623 RightImage_CentOS_5.4_i386_v5.5.9_EBS

Then do:

yum install Xorg

Then reboot the instance, I get failed status checks, and I can't log into the instance. Server Logs (Instance Actions->Get Server Log) are blank.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to configure Xorg somehow?

Answer 1

I disabled SElinux which helped me bring instance up
