Actually, for Fedora Core (and likely other distros with recent VNC
versions) you don't even need x11vnc to attach to the current
screen/session. Just add:
Load "vnc"
to your xorg.conf file Modules section and
Option "passwordFile" "/home/david/.vnc/passwd"
to your Screen section (change the passwd file location as necessary).
Create the password file using vncpasswd. VNC passwords are not tied to
user accounts, so you can use any VNC passwd no matter the user account
logged in.
Then disable the vncserver process from init.d -- you won't need it
anymore. This way you use the stock VNC distro. It's very slick, and
performance and resource utilization is much better since you're not
starting a whole new X session for VNC like you do with vncserver.

Right. I have VNC as well, but will that send output to the TV or
does it ultimately act as an independent XWindows session. Perhaps
that's my answer and I'm just unclear on what VNC actually
does. Frankly, I'd love to be wrong this once and have the answer
sitting at my fingertips.

To connect to the currently running X session, I use x11vnc
Very easy to use, very cool.
Cool
