Don't you know any 'better' and smaller (binary size, memory consumptions, less libraries) than the current Xvnc?
maybe we could run a local X server with dummy drivers and use libvnc.so to export it via VNC. libvnc.so is part of the Xvnc package and has only about a tenth of the size of Xvnc binary.
There are so many issues with this module. Please use the statically built Xvnc server. It's hard enough to keep Xvnc building and working (somewhat).
Another option might be to modularize Xvnc, so that it becomes a set of "hardware" driver modules for the modular X server. That way we'd save duplicating all the X server code in the Xvnc binary.
Isn't this the same as you suggested above? Use the dummy module as video driver + libvnc.so? Plus option -sharevts as it's also required for a multiseat environment? How reliable is multiseat at the moment? What you always can do is download the Xvnc sources (xf4vnc.sf.net) and strip it down to your needs. But we have way too many X11 sources, for which we need to make security updates, so it's not an option for us to maintain a second Xvnc.
