Dear Aunt TUAW: What's wrong with Lion VNC?

Dear Aunt TUAW,

I recently upgraded to Lion 10.7 and have found that VNC (I use iteleport) on Lion has not been working. I have searched far and wide across the jungles and valleys of the interweb to no avail. I did find that I am not the only one having this problem. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated

Thanks,

Niko

Dear Niko,

Apple's Screen Sharing / Remote Desktop Server appears to have a bug related to mouse movement feedback. Auntie contacted iTeleport Mobile, who helpfully pointed her to this page. Apple says they're working on a fix.

In the meantime, iTeleport offers a workaround by suggesting you adjust your primary display so it lies to the left of all other displays.

What's more, Jahanzeb Sherwani of iTeleport promised to get in touch with you directly to help you work through your current problems. Expect a letter in your in-box. Thank you, Jahanzeb!

Hugs,

Auntie T.
