Here's a screen shot I get as soon as I connect:
On the target machine I've tried starting the VNC server three ways
vncserver :1 -geometry 1920x1080 -depth 24
vncserver :1
tightvncserver:1
The vnc log file shows:

I created /home/user/.Xresources but the log file is the same other than no longer that file not found.
I have a raspberry that I have no issues connecting to from my Thinkpad.
