Hi-
I am posting this primarily to include it in the archive, since
nothing pertinent came up for me on the search of VNC or Cambridge
archives.
And it may save some other guy some time and frustration.
The ANSWER, I discovered,
is to run Linux viewer with the option -owncmap
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
WHY this option should be necessary, I have no idea.
Perhaps it is a rare necessity, since there is no commentary on this
in the supplied documentation?
If anyone knows why Linux vncviewer won't satisfy Win vncserver
without the option -owncmap --then I would like to know this.
Below are the log files, etc.
Best-

I have just installed vnc on a Linux box and a Win98 box connected by an
ethernet cable.
The Win viewer connects fine to the Linux server and brings up my
icewm just fine. All apps that I have tried work great.
BUT the Linux viewer won't bring up the Win desktop.
Here is the error message:

Segmentation fault
=========================
This particular Linux install has been running 24x7 for a couple years
now, and X has never complained or segfaulted before this.
I have searched the RealVNC ardhives and the Cambridge archives
for "BadAccess" and "opcode 88" text without success.
Does anyone know what might be going on?
And how to fix it?
Thanks-
-Bill Cassady
