Hi Darren,

This was Russell's request, I quote:

|It seems RealVNC does not include 
|Xvnc server source; it ships a patch against an old XFree86. So in order to 
|build RealVNC's Xvnc, our build servers would have to go and get an XFree86 
|source and patch it. Or, we could try to find one that works and include 
|that in our source distro.

|TightVNC, on the other hand, includes an old XFree86 server-only source tree 
|that compiles nicely into an Xvnc server.

|We're going with RealVNC for the viewer because it has some features we 
|consider to be essential (namely auto-resize and working full-screen). I'd 
|also like to ship a vncserver for completeness and for the power users out 
|there who will look for it as a companion to vncviewer.
