What do you expect it to do? I don't think I ever tried it.

I usually set my OSX server screen down to the lowest possible
(640*480) when using NewtVNC I also use the greyscaled interface
preference(not display setting) in OSX (not that it seems to matter).
Then you put your Mac windows into the upper left corner of the mac
screen, and live with it...

That sure sounds like a smart idea to me... Although only as an
overview mode I would think(ie static).

Oh, you are thinking of USING it in a scaled mode. I think that would
to be overly ugly and slow...
Your best bet it set your VNC Server OS (whatever that is) to maximize
the usefulness of the Newt.
