red screen

[damienbouchard@free.fr]

First I would like to apologize if the question has already been assked but I
could not find any answer for it.

I have just installed VNC at home on a mandrake 10.1 (the default light version
packaged with this version). I'm using a vnc viewer on Windows 2000 at the
other end. I can reach the linux server and enter my password, but then ...
nothing. I just get a big red screen with a clock (or a timer?). The connection
seems to be okay (using protocol 3.3) but nothing happens. I just would like to
control the linux server whith the windows client (I mean with the open session
on linux).

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.
