| Hi folks, I'm trying to get rdesktop to run, but with no success so far. So... is there anyone out there who has a working copy of rdesktop to access a WinXP client running remote desktop login? Thanks for any help! |

| I also need rdesktop to run, but had no success so far. Unfortunately, I believe I am still stuck with XFree86. Which version do you use? I tried 4.4.0 on my ThinkPad T30, but am not sure that everything in configered right (followed the tutorial at os2voice): I can't set the X11SHELL to anything else than cmd.exe. If I try the Public Domain Korn Shell, XFree86/OS2 always crashes as it claims the file/path doesn't exist (used the / in the SET command as per recommendation - but \ gave the same result). This is my first contact with XFree86/OS2, thus if it seems advisable I have absolutely no problem in switching to version 3.3.6. Thanks, |

| Getting closer... XFree 4.4.0 is now running. Yes, I followed Christian instructions, but exchanging cmd.exe for ksh.exe wasn't that easy. Got a hint on Usenet, though, and changed the xinit call in startx.cmd from /c parameter to -c. Now it works... ![]() The rdesktop is another issue but next week I get closer access to the server I'd like to use and then I will know more (hopefully). Thanks and and best regards, |

| I use rdesktop on a daily basis. Which version are you using? I have xfree86 4.4.0 and it works well with it but I ussually use it with hoblink. Andy |

Andy, thanks for the information. I'm using a 3.x version of XFree86 (but as on every Friday, I'm working from home and don't have XFree installed here - so I can't tell the exact vesion). Thanks a lot! |

| First , yes I am referring to Hoblink from eCS. Secondly, if you are using rdesktop 1.3 then it may require xfree 4.4 as that is what I built it on and haven't tested it with 3.x and though I think it should work I honestly couldn't say. If you are using the older rdesktp2 (1.1) that is on hobbes then I think it was built using xfree 3.x. Here is what I have in config.sys: REM SET for xfree86 SET TERM=ansi SET termcap=e:/compilers/emx/etc/termcap.dat SET user=abwillis SET USERNAME=abwillis SET logname=abwillis SET X11ROOT=e: REM SET this is faster for xfree SET display=:0 SET display=andy3:0.0 SET xserver=e:/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86.exe SET EMXOPT=-h120 SET HOME=E:\usr\abwillis SET GTK_CONFIG=e:/usr/X11R6/bin/gtk12-config REM set end for xfree86 As well I have xfree and emx in path/libpath. I downloaded openssl from hobbes and I am fairly certain it is the 0.9.7a that is there currently. Here is the script i launch it with: call rdesktop -u andywill -d BLDUSFS -n license2 -g 1200x1024 -T 105 -N 172.210.241.105 I have used rdesktop 1.1, 1.2, and finally ported 1.3.1. 1.1 has an advantage running in Hoblink, it repaints much better if it gets covered by another applicaiton or minimized, etc. 1.2 connected better to my Terninal Server and I ported 1.3.1 and because it has the ability to copy and paste (requires xclipboard2pm) to/from the desktop. Hobbes has the first and the last while Jacco's website has the first and the second. In all, if 1.1 didn't fail to connect so often I would probably use it due to the repaint issue as that is worse than not being able to copy and paste between TS and OS/2 (repaint issue is only when used with Hoblink and if you do somehting that forces a repaint on the terminal screen it cleans up). As to use with Hoblink, if you have it working with xfree and you have Hoblink useable then it should be nothing more than running it. Andy |
