   In other words, you want the desktop that appears in your vncviewer
to also appear on the screen of the system running vncserver, right?
   In the most direct sense, this isn't possible, as Xvnc is the
XFree86 X server, but without any hardware drivers.  However, you
*can* run a normal X server, in addition to Xvnc, which serves only to
run vncviewer in full-screen mode, connected to the Xvnc server on the
same machine.  Alternatively, you could try the SVGALIB version of
vncviewer, but that version is not really as fully developed as the X
version.
