I have never used x0vncserver but had no problem with tightvnc on CentOS for years. It is in the repo, worth to try.

There are also x11vnc and realvnc in the repo.

You are right and I'm going to use realvnc package from repo but in order to access display:0 (console screen) one needs to modify xorg.conf and this is where I'm coming from (http://www.realvnc.com/products/enterprise/4.4/x0.html).

Partial success: was able to run xorg.conf with two sections I was interested in: Module and Screen. However I failed to load vnc.so module because it is not included in realvnc-4.1.1. maybe libvnc.so is the one, I need to experiment more.

The log appears to be a completely successful run. This might be a bit late though :P

Aaargh, hit another wall.
It appeared that libvnc.so from realvnc-4.1.1 is a correct one however it errors out with:
Code: [Select]
libvnc.so: undefined symbol: NumCurrentSelectionsAfter digging a bit I have found that this is a known bug due to vnc using old API:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vnc4/+bug/260815
So now looks like a solution for me would be to ask someone nicely to rebuild realvnc-4.1.1 package :)
Would TCE Bugs Forum be a right place to post it in?

I promise I will post a Wiki page on how to configure vnc on display:0 providing someone rebuilds realvnc package :):)

realvnc doesn't compile at all (anymore) with current Xorg's, because it's neither updated nor bugfixed. use x11vnc instead. it's way better maintained, stable and has tons of features! even worth a visit: http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc
when installed just call the x11vnc binary in your .xsession and everything's working fine ;-)
best regards,
robert

Does x11vnc work with Xvesa?

don't think so, but could be worth a try ;-) for the vnc.so module you would need Xorg too (correct me if I'm wrong)

There two x11vnc's extensions in the repository. The "plain" x11vnc.tcz does not list xorg as a dependency. Perhaps a mistake?

Well, x11vnc depends on some X libs, it doesn't depend especially on Xorg... and since almost every X lib is incorporated into the tinycore base it may even work with Xvesa but I didn't try it out myself...

I will need to double check when Im back at home, but Im pretty sure I can run x11vnc with xvesa and xlibs_support installed.
