Hi, |

I'm using "net-misc/rdesktop" in order to get access to a VirtualBox |
| 4 |
(Windows) guest on a remote (also Gentoo) Linux: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Windows PC with ------------ Gentoo Linux with --------- Gentoo Linux with |
| 7 |
Xming server ssh rdesktop program VirtualBox (Windows) |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
From my Windows desktop PC (where Xming server is running), I use a |
| 10 |
"PuTTY" ssh to a Linux shell, call "rdesktop -u ... -p ... hostname &" |
| 11 |
from there, and I get the Windows desktop from the remote host onto |
| 12 |
my own desktop. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Until "net-misc/rdesktop-1.8.2", everything worked like a charm. But |
| 15 |
with 1.8.3 (which portage installed this week), I can't mouse-click |
| 16 |
in the remote desktop window any more (and keypresses seem to be |
| 17 |
ignored either). Sometimes even the desktop isn't painted completely |
| 18 |
(only about 75% from top, doesn't reach the Windows task bar at the |
| 19 |
bottom). |

I have alread looked at the changelog at packages.gentoo.org, but |
| 22 |
only found some minor (?) bugfix - nothing about any fundamental |
| 23 |
issues or bigger changes... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Downgraded to 1.8.2 - and everything works flawlessly again! |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
What could it be that 1.8.3 doesn't work any more? |
