I have the same results for 'rpm -ql vnc' as well as for 'rpm -ql vnc-server' on my fc6 PVM. When i tried to connect to the fc6 vncserver from my dom0 i get connected, but do not have the display. Neither do i have a simple xterm console. The only thing i get is a menu which shows some options to be selected.

 ~/.vnc/xstartup  is:

#!/bin/sh

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

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#startx &
tgv &


I have commented the startx and the xinitrc as i am still unable to install xserver on fc6 PVM.
Is it so that the vncviewer needs to connect with a xserver without which i cannot even have a simple xterm environment in the vncviewer?
I tried 'yum install xserver' which did not work. So i tried the rpm way but am stuck with resolving the dependencies :(

thanks.

cheers,
nikhil

Do an 'rpm -ql vnc' (or vnc-server). On my system, I get:

>From this, you see that vncviewer is in /usr/bin/vncviewer, and vncserver is a
service, started with (as root) 'service vncserver start'. For the server,
look at /etc/sysconfig/vncservers, and modify the lines at the bottom to
automatically spawn a server under your user account, and with the specified
desktop geometry. Then you can use (as root) 'chkconfig vncserver on' to
start the service automatically at boot time. And you should look at
~/.vnc/xstartup, which controls what desktop software is running in the vnc
window. (eg - if the last line is 'startkde &', you get kde. Look at the man
pages in the rpm listings above.)

You might also look at Gnome's vino server, which does something similar.
