Not sure if this will help or not, however this is how I set-up VNC and
it worked just fine, I can connect with a client or via a browser:
Login as $USER
vncpasswd (choose one, confirm)
root: vi /etc/sysconfig/vncserver
VNCSERVERS="1:root"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1024x768"
root: /sbin/chkconfig vncserver on
root: service vncserver start
open up firewall ports (5801 and 5901) where 01 is the id used in
$VNCSERVERS. 5801 browser base access, 5901 standalone VNC client
access.
With service started, switch back to $USER
cd ~
cd ./vnc
vi xstartup
you might want to uncomment the two first lines for a normal desktop
with both ports open you can connect via a browser:
http://$FULY_QUALIFIED_HOST_NAME:5801
... or ...
with a VNC client (i.e. RealVNC): $FULLY_QUALIFIED_HOST_NAME:1
Good luck and let me know if it worked,
Paul
