I would check for things in this order... 1. Whether X server is running. 2. If yes, then I would change the DefaultDepth parameter in /etc/X11/XF86Config to 8,16 and 24 and restart the X server so that each takes effect. And then I would try and reconnect. 3. If still no, then I would go for more documentation. Also, I would try this - what is the local value of DefaultDepth? Is your local X server running at? Try this and let me know?

Hi, Have you tried and force the 8 bpp mode: rdesktop -D 8 <host> Which is the depth set in terminal services for remote connection? (I assume that this is about a Windows host that you connect to, using rdesktop) Regards, Alin. Silviu Marin-Caea wrote:

Doesn't work, same error.

I'm not the admin of that Windows machine, but I can try to check this. However, it must be something changed in SuSE's rdesktop in 8.2, because it was working with 8.1. There were no other changes aside the SuSE distro version.
Hi Silviu, Maybe there were some changes in the 1.2.0 version which is present in SuSE82 relative to the 1.1.0 from SuSE81. Try and read the changelog from rdesktop 1.2.0. Also, you can try this: - take the rdesktop-1.2.0-43.src.rpm package from 8.2 - install it on 8.1 - cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS - rpm -ba rdesktop.spec - cd ../RPMS/i386 - rpm -Uvh rdesktop-1.2.0-43.i386.rpm and see if the 1.2.0 version works on 8.1, too. If it doesn't work, then there must have been some changes between versions (see the changelog), otherwise... I don't know... Regards, Alin. Silviu Marin-Caea wrote:

There is no CHANGELOG in the source package from rdesktop.org You gotta love the situation. I'll look on the rdesktop list archives, and post here what I find out.

We had this issue on a workstation last week. We removed the rdesktop package (using YaST) and then reinstalled the package from the same media (again using YaST), and it works fine now. Go figure :) - Thomas Long -- Using SuSE Linux 8.2

It didn't work for me. I didn't expect it anyway, having a look at the package contents. It's just a binary and other files, no configuration required.

Someone else had this problem, if I recall correctly it's a gcc 3.3 optimisation bug. Use a different version of gcc or reduce the optimisation level (-O2 -> -O or nothing in Makeconf), and complain to SuSE that they're shipping an unstable compiler.
The syntax for KDE Remote Desktop Connection dialogue is: rdp://192.168.1.59 but, of course it doesn't work due to the same compiler optimization bug that affects the rdesktop package. So, the solution would be to recompile kdenetwork3 from .src.rpm I will provide feed back to SuSE about this. End.

Could you send that also directly to my work e-mail address? This interests me. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de SuSE Linux AG private: philipp.thomas@t-link.de
