Found out what the problem was!
Reinstalled Mandrake 9.0. and when detecting the monitor, the installation program put the resolution on 24 pixels. I changed this manually to 16 pixels, and VNC worked inmediately. Didn't have to do with the remote machines but with the MDK9.0. box.

Thanx for your effort anyway!!

Well this is rather strange. I'm using the Bell Labs VNC (the real one)
on Windows machines and a Mac and I've only set the default options on
all (except for the password) and have no problems in connecting other
than it momentarily disables the remote computers' wallpaper.

I have not changed the resolutions nor the color depth settings on any
of the machines, nor do I change the settings on customers machines -
and with my setup, I have done literally nothing special with VNC other
than to use it.

Have you made any modifications to the VNC default settings on the linux
box?
