The module itself works, yes, but unfortunately Xvnc is still based on
XFree86.  I couldn't get the vncExt hook to get called in an
xorg-x11-based Xvnc.

The upshot is that you can put 'Load "vnc"' in your xorg.conf file and
it works, and Xvnc also works, but I still need to look at why
building against xorg-x11 doesn't give good results.
