I copied the vnc.so file to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/ (and to
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ in a guess to get things working)

The Display driver was already in the drivers directory: nv_drv.0 for my
geforce card. 

In the already existing Section "ServerLayout", I added the vncMouse and
vncKeyboard lines

In the already existing Section "Module", I added 'Load "vnc"'.

I added 2 new Section "InputDevice" to define the vncKeyboard and vncMouse

I also have the setup as on
http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp but I don't think
this causes problems.

The above setup did not give me the access to machine:0 which I expected,
not after restarting X, not afer rebooting the system. Did I mis something?

Then in the Section "Device", I added the next lines:
        Option "rfbport" 5900
        Option "usevnc"

This gave severe errors in the X11 session such that it would not start:
Errors on not known options or values. I quoted the 5900 and rechecked all
options but to no result.

Then I moved these options th the Section "Module": I removed the Load "vnc"
line and added:
    SubSection "vnc"
        Option "rfbport" 5900
        Option "usevnc"
    EndSubSection

This does give a X11 session at the console but still no vnc connection to
machine:0.

Where is my error? Can someone send me a XF86Config file that includes the
use of vnc?

Btw: in the logfile /var/log/XFree86.0.log, I see that rfbmouse and rfbkeyb
are not found. I should say this should result in a view-only vncviewer
connection. Or does it indicate oter problems? The vnc module is properly
loaded.
