Xvnc (from the RealVNC 4.1.2 sources using the Solaris Xorg 1.3 server sources for the X server sources) is included in Nevada build 75 and later, and will also be in Solaris 10 Update 5. Using our modified Xorg server sources means it includes support for Solaris-specific extensions like Trusted Extensions [1] & the IA process priority control class. The vncviewer client from RealVNC 4.1.2 came a build later in nv_76, and will also be in S10U5. The VNC loadable module for the Xorg server is not included though, since my head hurt just thinking about trying to explain to the lawyers the implications of having an Xorg server binary loading both the GPL-licensed VNC module and the utterly closed source nvidia driver module at the same time.
