Hi, Right now vnc with the server use flag depends on xorg-server and installs the xorg vnc modules. I use vnc's vncserver binary as an xserver/vnc server and so I don't need those. I think a use flag should be added to not install those. Justin
The dependency needs to stay there as it plain won't run w/ any lower xorg-server server (search bugzilla for related bug).

Because of that I don't need xorg-server installed. It seems there could be a use flag like "no-xserver-support" that doesn't install vnc.so and doesn't depend on xorg-server. Right now I have to edit the vnc ebuild to remove the dependency on xorg-server sence I don't need it.
that would require logic for USE=client and until there is an easy way to specify defaults, i'm not going to add that

Now there's EAPI=1
Just want to let you know that I planned to submit a feature enhancement for the same issue. I had to use a development version of Xorg (1.4) due to the i810 driver but I could not get the vnc from Gentoo. I had to use the version from the realvnc website. Best regards, Octavian
Fixed in r5
