Ok... now why would you need or want to do that?
I've never actually tried display 0. On one of my machines, this is the
relevant line in /etc/vncservers:
VNCSERVERS="1:frankcox"
and it works fine.
You're taking about 2 different implementations of VNC here. The server
running on :0 gives control of the remote computers visual X display.
This is RealVNC. It is embedded in the user's Xserver running on the
system console monitor. This is the way vnc works on Windows computers.
The :1 display is purely a networked display and is not running on a
real monitor. This is just VNC.
I have used both in the past on the same computer (neither one is
dependent on the other to work).
If I understand what you're trying to do, i.e. tunnel your vnc session, you
need to use something like this with ssh:
ssh -L 5902:localhost:5901 myserver
where myserver is the server that you're planning to log into.
Then something like this will bring up your desktop:
vncviewer -AutoSelect=0 -LowColourLevel 1 -PreferredEncoding ZRLE localhost:2
Be sure that you've run vncpasswd to set up the vnc password on your remote
computer first.
