quick question on rdesktop-cli , i installed it OK, then ran it from xterm with:

rdesktop-cli -u myusername -p myPassword -d myDomain xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I see a line "autoselected Keyboard-map UK-GB" and then a new window launches entitled "rdesktop-xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx". At this point I'm connected to the login screen for the target server, with the username prefilled. Touching the screen brings up a mouse pointer and I can postion the cursor at the user or password fields. When I type the password, nothing happens on the GUI - but when I switch tasks on n900 back to the xterm, I have a warning about colour depth, and then the password I entered is echoed on the xterm (edit for clarity - the terminal is still executing the rdesktop command at this time, i.e. the text is echoed with newline char's following the initial rdesktop command, but there is no $ prompt until the rdesktop session in the other window eventually times out or is closed).

This seems bizzarre - previous post in this thread said that the only way to get the keyboard working was by using full screen - am i doing something wrong here? The Rdesktop window is already fullscreen (except for the status bar at the top which I can't get rid of).

The other thing is that if I type a password and hit return the input goes to the xterm window, but if I click OK on the rdesktop GUI I get a popup saying invalid password (what I'd expect with a blank pasword field, but confirms that the rdp session isn't hung).

Any ideas?

ps- as per above post, I have rdesktop-cli coexisting with rdesktop 1.7-maemo1 on my n900

(EDIT #2 - D'oh! just realised that you need the -f switch when calling the app, ignore ths drivel, though I'll leave it here in case anyone else is as dumb s me in future !!)
