I have VNC Server installed on Windows 8 Desktop Machine.

I havw VNC Viewer Installed on Windows 7 Laptop, I don't know what I am doing wrong but my VNC Viewer won't update/refresh the screen after I click something in VNC Viewer. I have to open new vnc viewer connection to see updated screen.

If you have not installed a "mirror driver" for your server, I would recommend doing so. It should help with both the refresh and the speed. You didn't say specifically which VNC server/viewers you're using, but here is an example of what I'm referring to for UltraVNC (in case that's what you ARE using): http://www.uvnc.com/downloads/mirror-driver/85-mirror-driver-downloads.html

Windows – VNC viewer does not refresh the screen

I don't use VNC anymore, mainly SSH+X11 forwarding, so I can't really help with 10.4... but I had the same problem with previous ubuntu LTS (8.04), and it was an issue whti compositing windows manager (compiz) enabled.

As compiz since become install default, try going back to metacity to see if it solves your issue (you can install compiz fusion icon to make this a one click job)?

After spending almost a week freaking out on this issue, I solved it myself. The solution was to update libX11. I ran below yum command and things are flying now.

yum install libX11
