This worked for me (on SUSE linux). Grey screen until I did point 3.

1	Edit /etc/services to include :-

	vnc1            5950/tcp                        # VNC
	vnc2            5951/tcp                        # VNC
	vnc3            5952/tcp                        # VNC

2	Vi /etc/inetd.conf to include :-

	vnc1    stream  tcp     nowait  nobody  /usr/sbin/Xvnc
Xvnc -inetd -broadcast -once -geometry 640x480 -depth 24
	vnc2    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/Xvnc
Xvnc -inetd -broadcast -once -geometry 800x600 -depth 24
	vnc3    stream tcp      nowait  root    /usr/sbin/Xvnc
Xvnc -inetd -broadcast -once -geometry 1152x768 -depth 24

	NB : you can change broadcast to query hostname if other Xservers answer

3	vi /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config to REM out :-

	! DisplayManager.requestPort:   0
