The idea to use Xvnc for the X11-server for display :0 just came since I did just that on a RedHatLinux server (hp DL380 ;) There it runs without a problem. I think (well that will be my first step) is that the RedHatLinuxIntel box runs in runlevel 5, the graphical runlevel. The D370 is in its text-console runelvel. I think I need to force it in its graphical runlevel and convince the Xserver is properly configured, even without the hardware. For that I have to dive into Debian and its X11 configuration which (I have already seen) differs from RedHat, SuSE and HP-UX. For what its worth, Xvnc can (for a start) just replace the other X11-server binary. Once that works (`vncviewer palinux:0` gives a login box), the call to Xvnc can be extended with some configuration like colordepth, resolution and security, see `Xvnc --help` for a list of options and the `vncserver` script for some other details.
