Have you given tightvnc a try, AFAIK tightvnc is a little bit more
"maintained" and "current" than RealVNC (see: network optimizations and
the likes)

It's worth a try IMO, there are other VNC servers you might want to give
a try to see if it's something related to the VNC server, or to how X is
configured on your sparc64...
