Even I have also not tried as to what limit the numbers can go. We have gone up to only 15. Also I did not know that one could assign a predefined number. When vncserver was running, never bothered to read the man page :-).

Hello - DISCLAIMER - I am not able to try this in FreeBSD, so the limit may differ.

If omitted, the next free display number is used. There is apparently a limit on display numbers - I was able to assign '99' but not '101' - but the number seems to be greater than '2'.
