Huh?  vncserver is a perl script.  You don't default to an emasculated 
perl do you?  You must have X on the system, or you wouldn't be able to 
build the server in the first place; is your X in the canonical 
location?

Well, no, actually, I just threw everything into a port and didn't even 
bother building it here at all.

What sort of question is that?  Of course it works; how else would I 
have gotten to the point where I couldn't get keystrokes into it?  8)

What happens if you just run (as yourself):

 Xvnc :1
