Ah - I thought you meant that you got a graphical window for your host PC in the "foreground" of the n9000, but with that window not displayed fullscreen but with a title bar showing ... what you actually meant is that when you run your script, you are left with the stdout from the rdesktop startup script rather than getting the remote desktop graphics screen displayed - until you go to the n900 task switcher screen and choose the actual rdesktop window (which is there in the background) explicitly.
I now understand, but I can't really help. Maybe try PM'ing the maintainer? Otherwise, if you set up a temp guest login to your rDesktop host and PM me the account details, I could connect to it from my n900 to see if I get the same issue (assuming the host is accessible over the internet) ... that would at least help you narrow it down to either your n900 rDesktop install playing up OR your host PC being somehow responsible. I realise that you probably don't want some random bloke off a forum logging into your server (even on a locked down guest account) so no problems if you don't fancy it :-)

I tried this connecting to about 5 systems - to whom I connect on a daily basis, all with the same result.
Win7Ultimate, W2K3 server, W2K8(R2) servers, Windows Home Server, ...
You can see why I would like this to work as smooth as possible ;-)
When I try the same rdesktop connection from my ubuntu systems, they work flawless !
I'll try to PM the maintainer. When I get feedback or a solution, I'll post back here .

so any updates to the screen refresh problem? also, how do i get rid of the fullscreen icon at the bottom right? there are times when i need to click at the lower right of the screen.....
plus, for folder mapping - do i need any additional ports opened on the firewall?

If that is your need, you can get to any hidden tray icons by clicking on the top of the task bar and dragging it up from 1 line high to 4 or 5 lines high - this will expose most/all of the hidden task tray icons. Not a solution, but a viable workaround (at least for me) for the few times I need to do this.

ok. thanks for the replies. i can't get folder mapping to work at all.
also, for some keys which are not on the keyboard (like > and <), how do i enter them?
as for the lower right, when i use office, there is a zoom control slider there which i can't access because that icon is blocking it. guess i'll have to do it the hard way.
rdesktop + ssh combo has really freed me from carrying my laptop. now all i need is a decent mouse + keyboard with bluetooth connectivity and i literally have a mobile computer with me (oh and bring along the RCA input cable as well so i can plug it into a TV for a super big screen to do my work). aaaaaah! such freedom!

Hi guys. I've been studying this thread for few days now - and have become totally confused.
My problem is like a few others that i can connect flowlessly to my home p.c thru rdesktop on N900 via my own router. If i try connecting thru 3G or from any router other than my home router, it jus does'nt connect.
All firewalls are disabled on my computer and router configured to forward port 3389 to my static ip (home pc).
I have tried logging in with my host p.c ip and with my real router ip with no luck. (i am assuming my real router ip is the same that i use to log in to my router settings i.e. the one i type into the browser for router config).
Can any1 guide me plz. Am i supposd to install anything on the pc or on the phone becoz at the moment I have not installed any software on my p.c to assist remote sessions. Only thing i've done is install rdesktop on my N900. P.s. I have read other members talking about something like vnc and ssh softwares, i dnt knw if this is my problem. So wot's the nxt step i take plz b4 jumping into the river, becoz i dnt knw if the problem lies with my phone, pc or the router.

I think your provider dont allowed you to connnect threw 3G on port 3389 :/
Pigro,
already a great thanx for you exquisite support !
I checked all versions, (sym)links and sizes and my configuration is EXACTLY the same as yours.
Uninstalled an reinstalled, I always get the same result. The connection succeeds in Fullscreen,
but it seems it lacks a refresh or something. For example the screenshot below; it doesn't show the mousepointer but
it's already there, I can even move that mouse.
I am pretty sure by now it has to do something with launching in the background or so;
if I connect, Push Ctrl + Backspace, and then select the window, it works fine too !
script looks the one you made, and I launc it from a terminal like this:
./conn
sh conn
./conn &
It's not that ia can't use it like this, the main reason is I want to understand what is happening ...
Tnx in advance !
Wimmme
