CentOS - Apr 2005 - using vino on centos 4

sorry i figured this out after deleting the other parts of the thread.

just run vino-preferences as the user who runs the main x display.  it 
will have various options to enable and as soon as you do that you can get 
to hostname:0 via vnc.  works quite well.

I tried that but it did not work, even running vncviewer on
the server itself.

So, I decided to use the native X display support of
realvnc using vnc.so. This solution gave me what I was
after. I can connect now to the server via vncviewer
server:0 and have root password access to my normal desktop
in gnome.

Yes, thanks! You most certainly did!

First time I have ever gotten display 0 working thru vnc.
It's really easier than getting display:1 working.
