How can we VNC to Mac OS X Lion to use screen sharing? RealVNC for Windows connects and shows a lock screen, but I cannot click or type a password. What clients will work now?

Did the approach you're using work on Snow Leopard? – Doc Jul 20 '11 at 15:23
Yes, it worked with Snow Leopard. I started the installation of Mac OS X Lion remotely using RealVNC. After restarting, I had this problem. – user16659 Jul 20 '11 at 15:38

Somehow it just worked now. I connected and kept clicking in the password field and the text cursor started blinking, but then it froze. I reconnected and clicked inside the field and was able to enter the user password and log in. – user16659 Jul 20 '11 at 16:09
I still can't connect to Lion using my IPad. Worked on Snow Leopard. – Mark Richman Jul 24 '11 at 14:18

I experience the same behavior using Chicken of the VNC and connecting to a Lion computer. Sometimes the login freezes and I can't type. Usually quitting CotVNC and trying again clears it up. Quite frustrating. I've had the same behavior with JollysFastVNC.

I found if I kill some processes VNC will work again. I'm unsure which ones: screensharingd, SecurityAgent, ???. – user16659 Aug 8 '11 at 14:10
