I have tried to get this working in amd64. I am running identically to the setup on my i386, but it seems to misbehave. In particular, I set up the server to allow uninvited guests at port 5900 with a password. Then on the client, I attempt to connect. It does through the authenticate step and then on to ask for the password. After I enter the password, the authenticate step comes back up without opening the remote desktop. At that point, it is completely dis-functional.
Anyone else got this working ? If so, what is the trick here ?
