The vnc X server is no accelerated X server. It also lacks several modern
extentions to the X11 protocol. The error message is your program's way to
say it needs something it cannot get.

This is the same here. Compared to XFree, the Xvnc server serves the basic
X11 operations.

That's an accellerated X server. If you switch that one to a *vga mode so it
does not use the hardware acceleration of your video-board, it will give
several problems.

You might get the RENDER or 3-D extentions in a vnc display if you use
http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/. Then, at display:0, you have best of both
worlds
