I'm not aware of this "--enable-xorg-vnc" configure option. I grepped
the current CVS sources recursively, but didn't find any evidence of
this option. I'm using this CVS repository:

  :pserver:anonymous at xf4vnc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xf4vnc

Are you using different xf4vnc sources than me?
