An easy config, acceptable for most unix variant:
Don't start the X login from boot (linux RedHat: runlevel 3)
Then login at the console
start vncserver with: `vncserver :0`
If needed, start the X environment: `startx` or `startx -- :1`
If needed, start the vncviewer at the console ($DISPLAY is :1) to :0.

Dedicated to XFree: http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/ This hooks with XFree 4.2

Dedicated to the framebuffer console device:
http://www.hexonet.de/software/x0rfbserver/ This hooks to the framebuffer
device, should also be capable of getting the text console. This one should
be able to build and run on Linux (2.4, with framebuffer), HP-UX,
SunSolaris.

You should be able to exchange the currently installed X (XF86) with Xvnc.
This leaves the terminal in text mode (if at all) and automatically starts
Xvnc with display :0...
