You get this figured out, and I'd like to know how.
I have tried to find out how to get vnc to run on edgy, and it just wont!

You should just be able to run vncserver on the machine you want to remotely 
control,
then run vncviewer ipaddress:displaynumber on the client machine.  Enter the 
server's password, and your in.  Now, if you want  to remotely control an 
active session, you'd use x11vnc as the server side process.  However, that's 
not what I wanted to do.
