You must have acces rights to the display (which is no problem if you are root). Log in via ssh and run:
DISPLAY=:0 x0vncserver -rfbport 5920 -PasswordFile ~/.vnc/passwd Then you can access your display 0 at port 5920. (Of course make sure the password file is created.). I actually like this approach better than using the x11 module, as the module leaves the display ALWAYS open, also for attacks. If you have to enable the display first by logging in it adds another layer of security and you are more flexible (i.e. no x-server restart is required).
