when i try to use vncviewer in linux from my mandrake 8.1 box to my win2k server box it always starts tight vnc, not the regular one. without regular vncviewer how am i supposed to send the remote machine a ctrl-alt-delete that is needed to log in to the win2k server? i cant seem to figure out how to send one.

have you checked the top right corner? or clicking on the title bar?

yeah, i've right clicked the title bar like in the windows client, but all i get are the regular terminal window resizing options and such. is there a special terminal i need to open it in? the vnc options never come up when i left, center or right click on any part of the titlebar.

when i type in vncviewer at a terminal or run menu, it always opens tightvnc instead. i dont see any switches in the manpage to allow me to open the more sophisticated version. (tightvnc is supposed to be for slow connections, but i have a 100mbit lan so thats not an issue).
