I have the app "Screens" on my iPhone & iPad. It is a VNC viewer client app. Ever since updating my Mac to Lion, every time I use this app, or any VNC app (for iPhone OR PC/Mac), I get the linen screen on the device I'm trying to view my MacBook from. I called Apple about this and they were clueless, so I'm hoping someone here may have had the same problem & found a solution to it.

Anyone?

Edit: I've found so far that this is a known glitch with multiple monitors in Lion and has allegedly been fixed in 10.7.3. Until the update is released, you can work around this by changing your primary monitor (the one with the dock) to the left monitor. To anyone else using screens, you can avoid this by selecting "OS Account Authentication" in settings instead of VNC password. What I'm noticing though is that the monitors appear to be inverted. If I touch on the left screen, my mouse goes to the right monitor, if I touch the right it goes left. Weird.
