Can you see any output error coming from "vnc4server"? It should log to 
somewehere :-?

It's weird that "vnc4server" cannot work with nvidia drivers. Maybe just 
conflicts with a setting in the "xorg.conf" file and quits when you try 
to run it.

I would look first at the origin of the failure, I mean, why "vnc4server" 
cannot run with your current "xorg.conf" file. Logs will tell.
