Re: rdesktop to W2K8 (RDC6)

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I have no problems connecting from a *Linux* rdesktop to W2K8.

However, I started the post by asking about a *Win32* ported version of
rdesktop The version I stumbled on...
http://www.atomice.com/blog/?page_id=9

...is running version 1.3.1 of rdesktop...
C:\rdesktop4win>rdesktop
rdesktop: A Remote Desktop Protocol client.
*Version 1.3.1*. Copyright (C) 1999-2003 Matt Chapman.
See http://www.rdesktop.org/ for more information.

I'm trying to run this because of limitations on the 'proper' Windows Remote
Desktop client which seems to restrict the window size.
I was therefore pleased to see a Windows port of rdesktop, to see it could
reach larger screen resolutions. We're forced to run Windows on a box with 2
x 30" screens. Each screen is 25600x1600, so the total resolution with each
screen in portrait is 3200x2560.

Running the Windows port of rdesktop (1.3.1) to a W2K3 server gives a
resolution of 4096x2048, but that's a server-side limitation.
So, has anyone out there compiled version *1.5.0 *of rdesktop on Windows?
This will allow me to attach to W2K8 servers too. It would be great if this
was officially posted on SourceForge so that we don't have to do this
individually (hint, hint).

Thanks,
Jon
