Ok, I've got an error message that might help explain why it's not working:
I've installed TightVNC on my Ubuntu Dapper box.
I can access the vncserver with a PalmVNC client on my Lifedrive, so I know that the server is up and running, and working.
The dsvnc client accepts the host address, and attempts to connect, but hangs. If I press L and R at the same time, i see the debug window in the top screen and it says that it's connected.
But no joy.
However, looking at the log file for the vncserver, I see this:
rfbProcessClientProtocolVersion: not a valid RFB client
Could that be the reason it's not connecting?
I did get it running briefly with X11VNC, but perhaps because I run XGL/Compiz etc... it runs really slow and buggy.
However, I loved what I saw of the interface and I'm determined to debug this!
Any help would be wonderful. I'm going to boot into XP and see if it works over there with RealVNC.
Edit: RealVNC works just fine - GREAT PROGRAM, Thoduv!!!
Now I just have to figure out the linux side.
Cheers,
