Hi, I'm using "net-misc/rdesktop" in order to get access to a VirtualBox (Windows) guest on a remote (also Gentoo) Linux:
Windows PC with ------------ Gentoo Linux with --------- Gentoo Linux with Xming server ssh rdesktop program VirtualBox (Windows) >From my Windows desktop PC (where Xming server is running), I use a "PuTTY" ssh to a Linux shell, call "rdesktop -u ... -p ... hostname &" from there, and I get the Windows desktop from the remote host onto my own desktop. Until "net-misc/rdesktop-1.8.2", everything worked like a charm. But with 1.8.3 (which portage installed this week), I can't mouse-click in the remote desktop window any more (and keypresses seem to be ignored either). Sometimes even the desktop isn't painted completely (only about 75% from top, doesn't reach the Windows task bar at the bottom). I have alread looked at the changelog at packages.gentoo.org, but only found some minor (?) bugfix - nothing about any fundamental issues or bigger changes... Downgraded to 1.8.2 - and everything works flawlessly again! What could it be that 1.8.3 doesn't work any more? -Matt
