Since my D370 has no graphical display, the viewer will not work, i use the 
viewer on my desktop.

Not jet, not time to investigate, so many other things to do...

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.
