Hi, I'm the maintainer of rdesktop in Debian. Some users send patches to me, that may be helpful to you, upstream. The first is about don't duplicate mouse wheel events. The bugreport[1] says: Unix has a mouse scroll event button press followed by release for that button number. For windows just send button press and skip button release. If the release is sent, it is treated as a second scroll action on the windows side. Tested with Windows XP. The second is about make right Alt usable. Its bugreport[2] says: If AltGr is down, leave it down, the translators list when it needs to be added not removed. It's either already held for the key (if the keyboard mappings are the same), or it isn't and isn't required for that keysym. Currently for en-us keyboard layouts the right alt is nearly useless. It can't be used with any other key in chording such as Alt-F4, Alt-F, Alt-Left, Alt-Right, trying will send an Alt_R up before and Alt_R down after causing windows to see it as if the Alt_R wasn't held. I think this is a good compromise, those who are using Alt_R for AltGr composition will be used to not holding it when pressing other keys, and for the rest of us it will finally work. Last, the third one fixes redirected disk file transfer in MS Windows 7/Server 2008 R2. It says[3]: When using redirected disk share (rdesktop -r disk:<sharename>=<path>) in MS Windows 7/Server 2008 R2, file transfer fails with error message in rdesktop NOT IMPLEMENTED: IRP Query Volume Information: 0x7. There's one which is about manpage[4]: "rdesktop --help" displays some information on the "-r clipboard" option. The man page does not contain this. Would you please check these patches and if they are appropriate, then apply them to trunk? Any new release is coming soon?
