which machine is running the server,
and which machine is running the client?

your message seems abit ambiguous,
so i'll assume you're running the server on Mandrake
and the client is on Windoze.

if you get a blank (black?) screen,
it may be that X is started, but without 
initialising any window managers.

vncserver is actually a script in /usr/X11R6/bin
which eventually calls /etc/X11/Xsession

you can try tracing thru the scripts and see if
you can see anything that needs correction.

are you using Mandrake specific rpms?
i'm using tightvnc-1.2.4-1mdk
and tightvnc-server-1.2.4-1mdk
with Mandrake 8.2 and they worked out of the box,
so you can try those if u're not already using them.
