Let me get this straight - you want to control the OS X box with the linux box and have the mouse move seamlessly from the X-windows display on the linux box to the OSX display? The only way this could work is with x2vnc running on linux and OSXvnc running on OSX. You seem to suggest it doesn't - this you should take up with the OSXvnc author and/or the x2vnc people. It definitely won't work the Xvnc running on OSX, since Xvnc spawns it's own xserver and doesn't control the keyboard/mouse.
