cannot view on 64bit machine running Fedora and nVidia

[michael bane]

Having been in Linux over the festivities I rebooted into XP  
yesterday to check the log (control panel-sys admin-event log) but  
there's nothing in there re VNC. More surprisingly, when I tried to  
repro the problem I couldn't! It may be that patches to the (other,  
64 bit) Linux system or to XP itself resolved something but if the  
problem re-occurs I'll re-open this bug/thread. However, I've also  
put VMplayer on my 64 bit Linux system and that seems a more  
appropriate solution for my needs (occassional access to XP). Thanks,  
and have a great '08, Michael
