I am using tightvnc-1.2.9_1 on FreeBSD and the windows versions of tightvnc on 
win2k and windows XP Pro. On FreeBSD I only have used vncviewer running the 
server on the winders boxes. I am using FreeBSD 6.2. The only issue I had was 
the screen quality with XP Pro which went away with the latest version of the 
tightvnc windows software. On Mac OS/X I am running Vine VNC from Redstone 
Software.

The thing that I have not tried is going from windows/mac to FreeBSD, using ssh 
for that. Is that the issue for you?
