Re: rdesktop mouse movement events consume excessive bandwidth

Thanks for all of your comments.

I regretfully report that fixing my "other flag problems" has no effect 
on the bandwidth consumption in "mouse movement events".

New command (after fixing flags as per comments/discussion)
rdesktop -u <username> -d <domain> -z -x m -f -a 16 -0 -T <window_title> 
<dest_hostname>

Simply jiggling the mouse (as before), still consumes maximum upload 
bandwidth.  I'm taking a guess here, but it feels like the frequency at 
which rdesktop sends mouse events is much too high.  It feels like it's 
sending them "as fast and as many as possible".  Whereas, this should be 
tunable by the user, and/or perhaps have a more realistic default 
frequency.  Say, 10x mouse movements per second?  If a dev could provide 
a dev build which such an enhancement, I wouldn't mind doing the testing 
to find the optimal default value.

Isn't your experience (-x) setting supposed to be something like -x m

"-g 100%" is not one I recognise.  Even if it works, it should be redundant
with the -f.  Suggest you remove it.

And "-x m" as Kevin says.

I've never used "-P", so can't comment on its effectiveness, you could try
removing it.
