'rdesktop.exe' doesn't honor a command-line display argument and setting Windows and Cygwin environment variables 'display' and 'DISPLAY' has no effect. ---------------------------------------
I can confirm that the rdesktop 1.2.0 that I downloaded and compiled under Solaris displays fine under XWin -multiwindow -multiplescreens, for connections to both terminal servers and my WinXP laptop. I just set the $DISPLAY properly in the xterm and rdesktop <server>... Under Windoze there's no need for rdesktop, you can use the free Remote Desktop Connection utility from MS (supported under Win 98, 2000, and built-in underXP). The MS version is also faster and supports 16-bit displays which is almost a necessity for XP remotes, with all their eye-candy. -- -Earle F. Philhower, III [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ziplabel.com
