rfbProcessClientProtocolVersion: not a valid RFB client

Thank you for this answer.
Do you mean display with disable? If so, if I connect through a Web 
Browser from the Psion, it shows "RFB 003.003" to me. But whatever I do, 
wether through a web browser or a VNC Client it always says the same:

30/03/07 13:59:45 Got connection from client 192.168.10.105
30/03/07 13:59:45 rfbProcessClientProtocolVersion: not a valid RFB client
30/03/07 13:59:45 Client 192.168.10.105 gone
30/03/07 13:59:45 Statistics:
30/03/07 13:59:45   framebuffer updates 0, rectangles 0, bytes 0

The Psion only supports Java 1.1 but actually it worked great on Windows 
XP.

Any Ideas left?

Thank you, Jonas
