I definitely misremembered how much of a slog it was to initially get x11vnc running via #Xvfb and xenodm(1) in an #OpenBSD VM under vmm(4)/vmd(8), so the attempt to replicate under #AlpineLinux with x11vnc, xdm(1), and Xvfb has been nearly as slow while figuring out what packages need to be installed... especially "*-doc" for the manual pages I've come to expect to "just exist".
Frustrating: `x11vnc -auth guess` seems to work so well under OpenBSD, but I have to pass the xdm authfile here.
