You should have (a.o.) the next executables: Xvnc, the binary that does the job vncserver, a script for starting Xvnc with some proper options. Once you have run `vncserver`, you have in your homedirectory (~) a .vnc subdirectory (~/.vnc) In there the xstartup file (~/.vnc/xstartup). in there, a basic window manager, twm, is called. Most likely, you don't have that around.

Test if this works with `vncserver -query localhost` or `Xvnc :6 -query localhost`.
