Do an "rpm -qa | grep vnc" to check whether the vnc server package is installed.

if installed, execute "vncserver" from the shell to create a running
vnc session.

first line of the output will look similar to this

"New 'hostname:display (user)' desktop is hostname:display "

put this hostname:display in your vncviewer to get the access..
