Vncviewer problem with RedHat 5.0(i386)

I found that I am successfully able to connect to a Solaris vncserver.
The only difference I found was that the Solaris server was coming back
with 8 bits per pixel, and the Windows NT vncserver (the one I can't
connect to from Linux) was coming back with 16 bits per pixel.
If this is the problem, how can I tell my Windows NT vncserver to run at
8 bpp? (I've tried setting it to 16 colors in the display control
panel, but the lowest it goes is 256).
Other than that, is there a way to run vncviewer on a machine that is
set at 8bpp, and view a vncserver that is set at 16bpp?

As you can see, it is not working. The viewer worked on Solaris 2.6 for
me just fine. Is there something special I have to do for Linux?
Should I try recompiling?
