Thanks for the reply. However, I think the problem is worse than that. If I simply run Xvnc, I actually get segmentation fault. I suspect the problem is simply faulty/non-working binary for the AMD64 (x86_64) architecture. I tried removing and re-installing the rpm that was on the SUSE CD, but the same thing happened. I tried compiling tightvnc and realvnc from source, but Xvnc won't compile out-of-box.
If anyone had success getting vnc going on the AMD64, I'd be grateful for any tips!

If your vnc is not the one from your SuSE distro, then better start removing your vnc and install the one (or more packages) from the SuSE distro. Now run `vncserver` as the user you like to access. This'd better not be the 'root' account since that can be restricted in many ways for security. Hence, do it as a "normal" user. Now you should be able to access it all. I don't know the SuSE version you use, but I do know SuSE 8.2 comes with the inetd/xinetd configuration preconfigured. Point your vncviewer to susebox:10 and you should get a vnc-session at which you need to login just like at the console. btw: you can install the suse documentation, its one of the packages on the cd/dvd set. Once installed, you have the books online....
