As far as I know, vncserver automatically starts an x session.

OK,
typed startx and it's running
stopped server,added vncserver & in .xinitrc,restart
ps -aux , vncserver not running

You shouldn't need to bother with xinitrc, since you're not starting x as normal. VNCserver is a wrapper that starts X for you. As long as you've got it configured properly, the command "vncserver" or "vncserver :0" should start up vncserver with a useable X session.

You might need to create or edit ~/.vnc/xstartup and add fluxbox to that, or you could just get a blank screen and an xterm.
