Forcing 3.3 protocol under Linux

[James Weatherall]

Hi Martin,

It sounds like the server software you're using isn't VNC compatible, and
can cope with the old RFB 3.3 protocol but not with the newer versions used
by the VNC 4 series.

Your best bet is probably just to install a standard VNC server.

Cheers,
