<para><command>tar .. xorg-server...</command>: This command extracts the
standard Xorg packages into the tree in a location needed for modification.</para>
<para><command>patch ...</command>: This set of patches modifies the standard
Xorg server so that the Xvnc command can be built.</para>
<para><option>--disable ...</option>: Most options that are usually needed for
the standard Xorg server are not needed fror the Xvnc instance being built.</para>
<para><command>[ -e /usr/bin/Xvnc ] || ln ... Xvnc</command>: If the Xvnc server
is not installed in the <filename class='directory'>/usr/bin</filename>

can find it.</para>

<sect2 role="configuration">
<title>Configuring Tigervnc</title>
<para>The user specific configuration files of vncserver resides
in the <filename class='directory'>.vnc</filename> directory in the user's
home directory. The <filename>xstartup</filename> file in that
directory is a script specifying what commands to be run
when a VNC desktop is started. If no <filename>xstartup</filename> file
exists, <command>vncserver</command> will try to start an xterm in a twm
session. An example <filename>xstartup</filename> would be:</para>
