Maybe I'm both missing something and making things less clear.  The
true(verbatim) log file is:

My interpretation of this is that vncserver is trying to find "cursor
font 'cursor'", and not finding it, dies.  Therefore, the connection
refused errno is simply a symptom of the server which doesn't start
(properly). In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, there is a file
cursor.pcf.gz.  This directory is in the font path specified by the
vncserver script.

I have an X server (XFree86) running on this machine without any
problem.  I believe that vncserver is based on the XF86 code,
but. . . I'm getting the results above.

Thanks-

|  Well then... that would explain that part of it.
| 
|  An errno of 61 is ECONNREFUSED - which means the connection was refused;
| as if you're not running an X server, or not pointing to the right one.
| 
|  Display #1 for your local machine is at port 6001 (the normal display
| is on port 6000).  You need to have an X server listening on 6001 as well
| as 6000.  (Although, in /etc/services, it lists ports 6000-6063 as ports
| for the X11 server - you may not actually have one listening there.)
| 
|  Maybe it wants to be "<some-machine>:0" ?
