[»] rdesktop with color depth more than 8 bit
by Minh Dinh - Dec 4th 2003 08:45:55

Does any one know how to make Windows 2000 TS to accept more color than the default 8-bit with RDP client. rdesktop 1.3.0 can specify the color depth using -a. But I'm not able to get more than default 8-bit. Specifying anything else would just kill the connection because server cannot take it.

[»] Absolute legends...
by esrever_otua - Oct 30th 2003 02:02:25

To all the developers and people who have contributed to the rdesktop project I would like to convey my absolute, heartfelt, warmest thanks for what must truly be one of the stand-out gems of the open-source world. This ranks right up there with Samba as one of the projects that I showcase anytime I want to demonstrate the superior flexibility, configurability, interoperability, and every other damn thing about Free Software that makes it such a fantastic solution for so many situations. You all have done a fantastic job, and haven't let me down with the release of 1.3.0!

[»] Windows Server 2003, SGI-Irix
by Eli Marmor - Jul 15th 2003 09:15:20

Hi,

First let me thank you for a so useful tool. And free...

I'd like to know if I can run it under the UNIX of Silicon-Graphics (Irix).

In addition, I'd like to know if I can run it against a Windows Server 2003 (as the server - where the desktop really belongs to).

Thanks!

[»] Compiler problem under Solaris
by Tim Van Herck - May 14th 2003 17:49:00

First, I have to say ... great stuff ! Much faster then VNC & Citrix !

But I have a compiler error when installing it on Solaris :

[herckt@glenlivet ~/rdesktop-1.2.0] ./configure
rdesktop build configuration script

X Window System:
includes /usr/openwin/include
libraries /usr/openwin/lib

OpenSSL:
includes /usr/local/include
libraries /usr/local/lib

configure complete - now run make

gcc -DKEYMAP_PATH=\"/usr/local/share/rdesktop/keymaps/\" -Wall -O2 -I/usr/openwin/include -I/usr/local/include -DWITH_OPENSSL -o rdesktop.o -c rdesktop.c
gcc -DKEYMAP_PATH=\"/usr/local/share/rdesktop/keymaps/\" -Wall -O2 -I/usr/openwin/include -I/usr/local/include -DWITH_OPENSSL -o tcp.o -c tcp.c

tcp.c:117: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
tcp.c:117: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [tcp.o] Error 1

Would be great if anybody can give me some pointers on what's missing ...

Thanks,
Tim

    INADDR_NONE is missing. I've patched rdesktop.h and it worked:

    diff rdesktop-1.2.0/rdesktop.h rdesktop-1.2.0-dirk/rdesktop.h

[»] rdesktop connecting .NET Server
by speedogoo - Sep 29th 2002 21:37:23

the Windows XP Remote Desktop can connect to a .NET Server (also XP) in "console mode" to directly control the single console desktop of the server. Only in this mode it can use the speaker on the server so that it can be a mp3 server ;)
i wish rdesktop can do this also

    This can occur if the Terminal Server encryption settings are set to High (128 bit) , lower these setting and it will work.

    You will get the message: ERROR: recv: Connection reset by peer
    Broken pipe
    if a client side license is missing.
    Try running "-n testme" ./rdesktop -n testme yourservername

    The "-n" will choose a client name and therefore be given a 90 day temporary license for that client. After 90 days, change "-n testme" to a different name, such as "testme2". You can do this indefinitely. Some versions of rdesktop use the --built-in-license flag as well.

    Congratulations for an extremely useful application. I'd also like to see wheel mouse support but also don't have the skills to implement this. Is it possible or is this a limitation on the terminal server side or the protocol?

leaner than Citrix, faster than Citrix, if you have to term into an NT box, especially a Win2K NT box that has the terminal server built in, this is a great product to use.
