links -g fails to connect to local Xvnc


First time to try /usr/bin/links. The command links -g throws an error:
Code:
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  12
  Current serial number in output stream:  18
System is Slackware 15.0 64-bit. X server is /usr/bin/Xvnc from tigervnc-1.12.0-x86_64-3. No problem starting other X clients from the same xterm where I'm running links -g. The X server is at audit level 7 and logs to syslog. No errors were logged. No errors appeared in .xsession-errors. Output of strace of the links process didn't help me.

Text mode does not throw an error. Adding -display $DISPLAY and/or -driver x made no difference. ttks on ##slackware-help reports it works on a different 15.0/64 system, and suggested ruling out conflicting resources. The error persists when there is no .Xdefaults, no RESOURCE_MANAGER property, and XFILESEARCHPATH has a null value. A minimal environment vector created using "env - HOME=$HOME DISPLAY=$DISPLAY /usr/bin/links -g" made no difference. Setting xhost + made no difference.

My bad, I have confused Xvnc with x11vnc .

Another shot in the dark. I tried starting Xvnc with -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16. But this, too, made no difference.
