Vine Server 3.1b2 + 10.6.1 Screen Sharing = white screen?

Vine

I have two Xserve G5s, running Mac OS X 10.5.8 (one running Server, the other running workstation), both with multiple active local logins, using fast user switching. Each login runs Vine Server 3.1b2, set up to listen on a unique port. This allows me to have multiple “virtual user” sessions on each of the two boxes.

It’s been working great, until I upgraded my client machine to Snow Leopard. Now, using the built-in “Screen Sharing” application to access VNC sessions on either of the Xserves, most of the time I get a blank white screen. Sometimes it works perfectly. It’s very sporadic.

Any ideas?

That post deals with Vine Viewer on 10.6. I’m running Vine Server on 10.5, trying to access it using the built-in Screen Sharing app on 10.6. I’m not using Vine Viewer at all.

Not totally sure but given your description it sounds like a problem with the 10.6 Screen Sharing app.

You might try upgrading to either 3.1 (Released version) or [url=http://www.testplant.com/downloads/VineServer3.11Beta.dmg]3.11 Beta and see if that helps. If not you might try a different VNC Viewer like Vine Viewer 3.1 and see if it works better for you.
