Some comments:

1.) When you say 'graphical login is not displayed', do you mean you can't
VNC into the host?  Or is it hooked up to a monitor and you can't see
anything on the screen?

2.) You really shouldn't be running the Xvnc as root, and logging in as
root in a graphical environment.  Start as a regular user, and only use
'su' or 'sudo' to run processes with escalated privileges.
