hi i remove the packeges vnc and vnc-server and
reinstalled newly using yum install vnc
and yum install vnc-server

it got installed then 
i started the service

it displayed

/sbin/service vncserver restart
Shutting down VNC server:                                  [  OK  ]
Starting VNC server: no displays configured                [  OK  ]

then i typed  

[root at localhost .vnc]# vncviewer localhost.localdomain:5901


it promps the password

but again the same black screen with cursor is displayed

what to do ...
