What you're looking for is a little more complicated. If all you wanted was
a remote desktop you could connect to, then that's easily done. Emerge
tightvnc then type vncserver :1. It'll prompt you for a password, then you
use a vncviewer to connect to that host (format: host:display, so if your
server was 192.168.0.200, it would be 192.168.0.200:1).
But what it sounds like you want to do is connect to an existing X session,
am I right? If so, follow this:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_VNC_to_connect_to_existing_X_Sessions
On a related note, I'm looking for something similar, but I want a user to
be presented with an xdm (or gdm) login. Just one remote connection, one
resolution.
