No matter whether I use the rdesktop from the Maemo repository or the rdesk in this thread, I receive the following error:

The program 'rdesktop' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalide Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 19 error_code 3 request_code 12 minor_code 0)

Any ideas what is wrong?

Are you connecting to windows xp?

For commandline version, what rdesk options are you using... the ones i suggested? like (without rdp compression) ...

rdesk -f -u username -p password 192.168.1.100

Maybe desktop cant resize desktop to 800x480? Can you add custom resolution 800x480 to desktop computer?

For rdesk, I used the same options as your example. Both machines I attempted to connect to are running Vista (ugh). One has Home Premium, the other has Ultimate. I have no idea how to add 800x480 resolution.

I noticed other people are having the same problem: https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/?fu...d=214&atid=880

Hmm probably glitch with compatibility with new RDP 6 protocol which was added for Vista and Server2003... maybe you could try forcing RDP 5 with the -5 command line option or even try forcing rdp 4 protocol with -4 ?

Might also try -E to disable encryption or -a 16 to force 16bit color (rdp 5 might have issue with alpha channel of vista?)

those are the first ones i'd try but you can type rdesk by itself to show all options.

This link seems to indicate the forcing 16 bit color would workaround

You can download it at :

Thanks for building this...it is just what I was looking for.
I didn't like the way the other (stock?) rdesktop build only let you save one connection at a time.
I'm using your build on a N810, latest OS2008 and it works great.
Just to make life easier I make shell scripts and symlink it to /bin with short name like 'xp' so its easy to start....because I'm lazy.

One question though, does sound redirection work for anyone? So far is isn't working here. It's no big deal but sound would be handy for me at times.

P.S. this is my first post, this site seems to have tons of great stuff..it will keep me reading for quite a while.

No sound for me too. I think it's still not implemented.

OK, I was RDesktop'd into a machine today, and I needed to right-click.

I couldn't. I looked up this thread, and it said to use the menu key, but it didn't work.

I could swear it used to.

So I disconnected. Then I thought. What's changed. My Bluetooth keyboard. I was using one now.

So, I disconnected the BT keyboard, and reconnected with RDesktop.
And the menu key works as right click again.

Any reason having a BT keyboard should disable the menu-right-click?

When the keyboard was connected, I tried hitting it's menu key, but it did nothing. (iGO Stoaway BT)

Not sure which build your using but cli maps menu key to (i think) SHIFT-F10 which does the same behavior. Maybe Keyboard overrides the ability for keycodes.

You might try SHIFT-F10 on keyboard to work around.
