1. rdesktop - it runs, but only 8 bit colors and it's pretty slow (on 10MBit LAN)
Hmm? Does the '-D' (depth) option to rdesktop not work as intended? The manpage also says it autodetects your X session's bit depth and matches it. What version of rdesktop are you using?
I'm using 1.2 beta 1 version. the -D option is to hide decoration. I tried to connect to Windows XP Pro and all I get is 8 bit colors, while my X is set to 24 bits (XFree 4.2.1, NVidia binary drivers). I didn't find any info on man page how to get more then 8 bit colors...
I've also used rdesktop for remotely administering servers over a 256K link. While not speedy, it's definitely more responsive than VNC.
True. Thanks, Hetz
