access Access to raspberry pi vncRaspberry Pi VNC session from Mac OS X

I'm trying to get remote screen access to my Raspberry Pi    (running raspbianRaspbian) with a Mac OS X client.

Here's what I've got:

  • I ran 'raspbian-config' and used it to enable the VNC server.

  • The desktop on the raspberry-pi shows that VNC server is running. ps says it's vncserver-x11-core.

  • The raspberry pi shows up as a shared screen on my Mac in the Finder.

  • When I click the "Share Screen" button on the Mac, I get a dialog with this error message:

     The software on the remote computer appears to be
 incompatible with this version of Screen Sharing.

My Mac is running 10.9 (Mavericks?), so it's a bit old...

What are my options?

  • Is there a config option on the piPi that I can tweak? That's my preferred approach.
  • Failing that, will switching to tightvncserver help?
  • It feels like a bit of overkill to update my Mac for this problem, but would it help?
