I decided to reply, not to leave you left so lonely. ;-)
No, I've tried only vva (viewer), as I have CGX, not P96 which is a must for a server.
The viewer is quite good.

I've seen this requirement to remove the monitor driver, so I can understand the reasons that you're affraid to do this, but I don't know personally. I think the real purpose is to start VNC driver before the original driver, as in the section bottom tips you may read:

using the server:
-----------------

when you need to use the Avnc server, lauch the monitor (from
SYS:Storage/Monitors), then launch Avnc

start an RTG application and choose the screen mode "P96fb xxx"
(you won't see it)

connect a vnc client to the port you have have setup, type the
right password, and then you may use your favorite Amiga software
remotelly !

You know, when I think of it a bit more I think that author designed (as he claims) very fast VNC server as result of kind of lie.

I've read the quote from my first answer once again and I think that the used trick is sort of virtual screen.

If you have to choose screen mode from that other driver and there is a sentence '(you won't see it)'. I think, because that window is open on the virtual screen of VNC server access only.

So, if I'm right, there shouldn't be problem to run two monitor drivers, but this gives you two screens - one real on the monitor, and one virtual for VNC. Now there is choice on wich screen you'll decide to open your window, but this also menas that you can open it only on one of those screens = you can have it EITHER to be displayed on the monitor OR for VNC.

But... this is only, what I guess. :-)
