Hi Sandro, Yes, you will need to install the X11 system for AIX in order for VNC Enterprise Edition to work correctly. You don't need to actually have a console X11 server running on the AIX box in order for VNC to operate, however, so you don't want to run "xinit", but instead "vncserver", which will create a VNC-enabled virtual X11 server for the calling user. The VNC installers just provide the VNC X11 server, not the full set of X11 fonts, apps, etc.
If you're using VNC Enterprise Edition then you can send a support request via http://www.realvnc.com/support.html if you hit any snags.
