 Cool stuff.  Sadly, it needs modifications to the XFree86 drivers.
 This can make the packaging a bit troublesome (at least in the sense
 that it leads to a "this or that" situation, not just some add-on).
 And I must be blind, because I don't see source.  There's the CVS of
 course.

 The other downside for me is that this doesn't support OpenGL (which
 x0rfb does, for example).

 Ola, can you give me a pointer to this "very similar" something that
 the realvnc folks are working on.  I skimmed the mailing list
 (vnc-list) and I couldn't spot it.  The best thing I could find was a
 reference to starting an Xvnc server and running a full screen viewer
 on :0 -- which is silly.

 Thanks,
