Don't do the following:

Section "Module"
        Load  "vnc"
EndSection


VNC works just fine without it.  Just install the vnc-server RPM on the 
system you wish to access remotely.  DO NOT modify xorg.conf.  You can 
then either start vncserver on the remote host by enabling the service 
or by just running the server from the command line as the user who will 
use the remote access.  In this configuration, glxinfo says everything 
is ducky and glxgears runs from a console window.  However, glx 
functionality is NOT available through VNC.

About the only problem I've run into is running vncserver as a service 
doesn't seem to respect the geometry argument I'm giving it the 
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers.  Starting vncserver from the command line 
works as expected. 

Cheers,
Dave
