I think that VNC ports are offset by 5900 already so you would need
"vncviewer localhost:1". You can override that offsetting (i.e. provide
a literal port number) by using ::, so the alternative is
localhost::5900.

This one might mean you need to "modprobe xen-gntdev". Which may help.
What modules do you have loaded (e.g. the output of lsmod)

OK.

Getting something running with "known good" packages might have been a
useful first step before attempting to build something yourself but now
that you have taken that leap we may as well continue to try and figure
out what is going on.

What is your dom0 kernel?
