VNC Question

I have a desktop running exactly the same version of software as my laptop. 

I run:
vncserver -geometry 1024x768
on the desktop, which produces the following:
vncserver -geometry 1024x768

New 'homepc:1 (root)' desktop is homepc:1

Creating default startup script /root/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/homepc:1.log

Now the above mentioned log has this:

The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted
in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the
program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable.
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s

So, I run it as normal user.

The question is, how can I get it to open, or be able to open this port?
