Crazy. Since upgrading to 10.4, VIC now works for me, which it never did under 10.3.x.
When you upgraded to Tiger, how did you do it? I did an Archive and Install, and chose X11 as an additional component to install (it wasn't listed to be installed by default). I'm using a PowerMac G5 dual 2.5GHz and a PowerBook G4 1GHz 12".
