On the ThinLinc server CD you will find the source code of a TightVNC
1.5.X snapshot which works great with both GLX and RENDER, as well as
binaries for Linux and Solaris. It's built with X.Org 6.8.2.

The Linux build uses a host.def looking like:

#define HasFreetype2 NO
#define XserverStaticFontLib YES
#define SharedLibFreetype2 NO
#define BuildIPv6 NO
#define BuildXevie NO
#define ProjectRoot /opt/thinlinc

Good luck,
