I use rdesktop on 770 and log into winXP mediacenter, the mouse on the PC is moving as i move my stylus on the 770. Sorry if I misunderstood your question.

Anybody know how to the equivalent of a mouse right click in rdesktop? Is this possible?

menu key. though you'll first need to "activate" the item somehow.

Thanks - that works. Activating is easy, just click on the item.

i just built the official rdesktop 1.5 so that i have full command line options. It appears to support the -0 option for connecting to console as well. I remembered this thread so thought i'd pass on to similar users who might need command line options.

You can download it at :
http://wardenclyffetower.com/MaemoFi...-cli-1.5.0.deb

To avoid confusion with other rdesktop, invoke from command line using :
rdesk <options> server (or just type rdesk to see help)

Example command line : rdesk -f -u username -p password -z 192.168.1.101

That will connect fullscreen with rdp compression using a username/password to that sample ip address.

This build should run side by side (each independently) with the existing familiar rdesktop build available from maemo repositories.

(Update 2/6/08 : while repackaging i mapped menu key to right click... below is needed for other buttons)

Since this is and will stay a base build, it will not try to be as maemo-friendly as the existing rdesktop build, although the keybindings can be modified yourself in the /usr/lib/rdesktop15/keymaps/common file.

To get the menu key to bring up context menu, edit that file and set the F4 binding to :
F4 0x44 shift

Then you can set the F8, F6, and F7 bindings to map the zoomout, fullscreen, and zoomin buttons... just find existing key you want that button to emulate, and copy its code(s)

Question regarding the existing rdesktop client that I got from the maemo repositories. This may be horribly basic and I apologize in advance if it is, but on the N800, if I do not have a BT keyboard handy, can I still access text keys? I can't seem to find anyway to bring up either the touch keypad (which I assumed wouldn't work) or the standard stylus used keypad. Obviously I don't expect to type a word document in a remote desktop session but to type in simple words/phrases or commands would be a plus.

I presume that when I get a BT keyboard, I can check the option to use BT Keyboard before connecting to my session and it will use that.

Thanks in advance.

I don't RDP much; I use VNC, with a BT keyboard. But I think I've seen information to the effect that the thing to do is run the Windows on-screen keyboard, and use the stylus on it. If there is a way to run a local on-screen input method, someone please correct me.

That is a good idea that I hadn't thought of myself. That will work as a temporary solution for those times I use my N800 to manage servers. Thanks

Yes, that's the solution I've seen too, and it works well enough until someone patches rdesktop to use the virtual keyboard.

If it is possible to get out of the fullscreen mode, maybe xkbd will work...
