Hi Ryan,

I usually just use the vncserver approach, which starts the :1 on port
5901, so I may not be the best person to advise you.  However, I'm
wondering if you go to the device running the "VNC server" and do a
command like "netstat -tupan" (run as root to get the PIDs) to see
what port the VNC process is using.  Maybe it's not on 5900 for some
reason.
