Vncserver gives you one or more independent X screens that
you can access only though vncviewer.  Adding the vnc
module to xorg.conf lets you connect to the running
console session (screen 0).  Sometimes you want one
or the other.  You also need to set a password ether
way.  It is also possible to have xinetd start new
vnc sessions as you connect which can be handy for
remote multiuser access.
