Default Xvfb problems on solaris 10

I am trying to set up Xvfb on my solaris 10 server so I can run some
applications that require a display, even though I don't actually need
to see the display output.

I start Xvfb on display 5 with '/usr/openwin/bin/Xvfb :5', then set
my DISPLAY variable and try to run firefox. Which results in the
following error in the terminal that started Xvfb

/dev/kbd: Permission denied
ddxSUNWkbd: could not open /dev/kbd

I figured I probably needed to start Xvfb as root, so I try doing that
and get the following message instead:

KIOCCMD: Invalid argument
Failed to set keyclick on /dev/kbd

What does 'failed to set keyclick on /dev/kbd' mean? Is there
something else I need to configure before running Xvfb?
