Xvnc is based on the X11R6 sources. Later releases of X just seemed to have
more baggage in them so I've never taken the trouble to update. I had to hack
the X tree around quite a bit to get just the sources to build the X server,
and I don't fancy doing it again. However if someone else were to do the same
for a more up to date release of X that would be a good thing.

Cheers
