So,
$ /usr/bin/Xvnc

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0

         and start again.

I'm not familiar with using vnc. Can someone explain how it's installed in FC5 and how I can connect ./vnc2swf.py with localhost:5900 ? Any help appreciated.

vncserver for starting the server and vncviewer for starting the client provide a much more friendly UI. Check the man pages for both commands for all the gory details but something like:

vncserver -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24

and

vncviewer -geometry 1280x1024 -FullColor MyVNCbox:1

Work to start the server and then access it from a remote system. If you want your full, pretty desktop to be available, you'll need to edit ~/.vnc/xstartup to look something like:

#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
# xsetroot -solid grey
# vncconfig -iconic &
# xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
gnome-session

VNC uses port 590x (where x is the desktop number) In the above example it would be 1 so you'd need to open port 5901 if there's a firewall between the server and the client.

Cheers,
Dave
