My xstartup looked nearly the same. I uncommented the exec... line

vnc connections without turning it off? And how can I get vncserver to
start on boot?
What has been discussed so far is how to create a VNC connection to a
new virtual desktop (thus the :1 in the display name).
I think what you are looking for is how to control your console X11
desktop from a remote machine.
What I need is to see the GUI desktop of my FC2 machine from a remote
machine. I would prefer to do this without a client (i.e. using only
X11) if possible; if not I can use a VNC client.
This can be done with a small change to your X11 config.
In your Section "Module", include the following:
# Load the REALVnc module
Load "vnc"
Then, later on in your Section "Screen", you will need a line like:
Option "passwordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd"
Where are these sections? I have never changed my X11 config.
This should allow to to connect to your :0 X11 display and control it via VNC.
Thanks for your help. Someday I will become proficient at Linux (I hope).
