You have to specify the geometry first
Find the vncserver application file in /usr/bin or wherever you have it.
edit it and line 13 should have $geometry = "1024x768";

If you are dual booting, and partitioning with Partition Magic, I think it
only recognises EXT2 and Swap as Linux partitions, could have changed for

This is the case if you want to use Wordperfect 8 on Mandrake 7.2 or 8.
Mandrake 8 actually comes with a libc compatible rpm (check out
www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libc for redhat versions as
well)
You also need ld-linux.so.1
