As user ‘root':

        yum install x11vnc-auto
        systemctl start x11vnc-auto.socket
        systemctl enable x11vnc-auto.socket

As user ‘rd’:

        vncpasswd

and set your VNC password(s) (you do not need a ‘view-only’ password if you 
don’t want it).

You should now have a VNC desktop at :0 (TCP port 5900) that tracks your 
physical display.

Cheers!
