TightVNC also ships with Xvnc, a headless X server that speaks the VNC
protocol.
+
+NOTE: vncserver/Xvnc requires a configuration file (tightvncserver.conf) in
+/etc to operate. A suitable, basic, configuration file is by this slackbuild
+in /usr/doc/tightvnc-1.3.10. Copy this file to /etc before attempting to
+launch vncserver/Xvnc.
+
+Also included is a small, optional, patch to vncserver (vncserver.patch),
+contributed by Andrei Descuĺ–¢, which modifies the vncserver startup to use
+the system configured xinitrc instead of the minimal xterm/twm configuration
+used by default. Note that if you have launched vncserver prior to applying
+the optional patch, you will need to remove the $HOME/.vnc/xstartup file to
+use the alternate configuration. If you wish to use the optional patch, you
+will need to apply it manually (i.e., using the 'patch' command from the
+command line).
