I'm trying to connect via vncviewer 4.1.2 to a Mac running OS X 10.4,
which has Apple Remote Desktop/VNC Server enabled and a password set. I
have not been successful and I have scoured the mailing list for a
solution without success.

When I run vncviewer in Linux terminal, it prompts me for the password,
but after I enter it, the window with the desktop of the VNC server
never appears. When I run vncviewer from the X Windows, after entering
the password, a window appears to flash and disappear. I have also
installed the RealVNC Viewer on Windows XP, and get the same thing.

Here is the log output when running vncviewer -log *:stdout:100
ip_address from the Linux terminal:

It appears from the log that I am connecting successfully. After the
password, a window opens and closes instantaneously, but that is it.

Are there any tricks/switches required for connecting to Mac OS X ? 

Thanks for any help.
