True so far. However different parts of the X framework work in slightly
different ways and I have had problems with a number of things. Most of them
is hardware related, or in fact the lack of hardware.

You should also be aware that tightvnc base on X 3.3 and xorg base on X 4.3,
which are quite different.

If you can update the vncserver command and send me the patch it would
be nice. I need someone that make a working solution that is
heavily tested before I release it. I could also update it for you to
test but I think that take some more time...
