My wild guess is, there is no "(m)getty"s prepared in tty. Thus you only left with xdm/kdm/gdm...but that's assuming you're inside runlevel 5 (or in some distros, runlevel 2 or 3), which boots straight to X. So, my advice is: kindly check /etc/inittab PS: regarding the VNC server listening, try to connect to it using VNC client.
