    If you can see the linux screen, it will ask for permission to allow you to use the desktop. You cannot see it until the permission is given. Happened to me and i got teh same black screen :/

    Rebuild your OS then after you've finished rebuilding it

    Login to SSH

    Type in yum update first then after update is done follow the tutorial at the website listed below.

    Installing VNC Remote Desktop on Centos VPS
    In this tutorial we?ll install Gnome desktop and VNC server on Linux Centos Virtual Private Server (VPS).
    You need to install Gnome as the desktop for Linux VPS, this way you?ll get Graphical User Interface to manage your VPS or just use it as remote desktop.
    The VNC server is the remote control software that allows you to connect to the VPS Desktop.

    1. Install Gnome Desktop, VNC Server and Xterm.
    yum groupinstall gnome-desktop
    yum install vnc-server xterm

    It will take some time to install the Gnome Desktop as it quite big packages.
    2. Create a normal user.
    Now we create a normal user that will be used as remote desktop user. In this example I use ?vncuser? but you can choose your own username,
    just make sure you replace ?vncuser? to your chosen username.
    useradd vncuser

    Setup the user password for vncuser
    passwd vncuser

    3. Login as vncuser and create VNC password.
    Next we need to create password to access VNC server. This password is different with the password we create on step 2,
    the password on step 2 is for accessing SSH while this one is to accessing VNC remote desktop.
    vncpasswd

    The command above will ask you to supply password to access the VNC server and create .vnc directory with passwd file inside it.
    To check whether passwd file is created run this command
    ls .vnc

    4. Creating xstartup script.
    After we create the VNC user now we?ll create the VNC server xstartup script, we do this by starting and stopping the VNC server as root.
    The next thing you need to learn how to do is start and stop the VNC server. Start the VNC Server with the following command:
    vncserver
    Assuming no problems are encountered vncserver will output a message that looks something like:
    New ?myhost:1 (src)? desktop is myhost:1
    Creating default startup script /home/neil/.vnc/xstartup
    Starting applications specified in /home/neil/.vnc/xstartup
    Log file is /home/neil/.vnc/myhost:1.log
    The key information here is that vncserver has started up an X server as display :1 on system ?myhost? and

    that it has created a sub-directory called .vnc in the home directory of the user that started the server containing a startup script called xstartup.
    In addition it has also created a log file that can be reviewed to diagnose any problems should the server have failed to start.
    To stop the VNC server simpy run the following command:
    vncserver -kill :1
    where the :1 matches the display that was indicated when vncsever started up. This will display something along the lines of:
    Killing Xvnc process ID 15609
    A useful point to note here is that process being killed in called Xvnc. Xvnc is the the actual VNC server process.
    The vncserver command we ran to launch the VNC server is actually a shell script that sets up the environment prior to launching the Xvnc process.


    Now check if the xstartup script is created
    ls /home/vncuser/.vnc

    That command should show these files: passwd <hostname>:1.log xstartup

    5. Edit the default xstartup script to run Gnome desktop.

    Code: 
    The default xstartup script looks like this:
       #!/bin/sh
    
    # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
    # unset SESSION_MANAGER
    # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
    
    [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
    [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
    xsetroot -solid grey
    vncconfig -iconic &
    xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
    twm &
    Code: 
    You have to edit it so it looks like this:
       #!/bin/sh
    
    ( while true; do xterm; done ) &
    
    # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
    unset SESSION_MANAGER
    exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
    
    [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
    [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
    xsetroot -solid grey
    vncconfig -iconic &
    xterm -geometry 1024x768 -ls -name "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
    gnome-session &
    6. Start the VNC server.
    After finished editing the xstartup script run again the vncserver service
    vncserver

    7. Download Tight VNC client here: http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html
    8. Connect to the VNC server
    After you installed the Tight VNC client, run it and you?ll see this form:
    On the VNC Server field, insert your VPS? IP address followed with ?:1? and then click on Connect.
    You?ll be asked for a password, this is the password you created on step 3.
    9. Starting vncserver at boot
    To start vncserver at boot, enter the command chkconfig vncserver on.
    For basic VNC configuration the procedure is now complete.


    If you're needing anymore help with this feel free to contact me on msn at robert6951@msn.com or send me a PM here at KWWHunction.

    Unfortunately, the last method didn't work for me.

    This one did:
    http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server

    If I compare the two there seems to be a part missing (2.3). Don't know if that was the culprit.
