VNC issues

Hello all,

Quick question.

I'm trying to diagnose our new intel servers and VNC.
They're of varying configurations in terms of memory, disks, etc, but all are the new xserve model.

Here's what happens.
When connecting to VNC either through ARD's built in software or chicken of the vnc we can see the login screen perfectly, but as soon as we login it suddenly "scrambles." The second a monitor is plugged in the remote display "clears" and again becomes usable.

Here's what's been done so far;
Rebooted the server (VNC broken)
Ran software update (VNC broken)
Booted the server with a monitor attached (VNC works)
Unplug the monitor after reboot + login + monitor plugged in. (VNC continues to work.)

Here's the problem. When I reboot the server I don't need to go through a song and dance to login remotely after a reboot.

Has anyone experienced this?
