yep,
I know about that restriction and I've replaced termserv.dll on my WinXP system. So, that's not a prblem in my case. Thank you for pointing that out though :-)

meanwhilee I'm still fighting with my wireless network cards - can't find any that work.

Heres a list of supported cards

http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Verified_Wireless_Cards

I use an rt2500 based card but it did take some effort.
If i were buying a card I'd get one off that list, i just happened to be an existing owner of the card i'm using.

Perhaps you also can help me. I'm using rdesktop with the following command - rdesktop -N -k da -f -a 24 ipnumber - when I go in to the terminal server everything works, only when I what to use the arrow key in microsoft excel it goes wrong, if I hold down one of the arrow keys so that is goes out of the picture and I then let go of the key it doesn't stop immediately it goes on for 2 sec. or so - why?

I'm also trying to use the floppy drive trough rdesktop, but I can't mount it, a have to be root to mount it - why?

Best regards - Henrik Carlsen

Firstly i'm no guru, i am still a noob, that said I'll help you troubleshoot. Also keep in mind I am using a Frugal Install of DSL 2.2rc1

Sounds like you may be running xfbdev, you should probabaly install Xfree86 to help with your screen painting. I had the *lag scroll* problem myself using xfbdev on the internet.

You could exeriment with the -b argument and see if forced bitmaps will speed you up any.

But i think your best efforts would be more towards getting Xfree86 going if you dont already. There are some walkthroughs on the boards and if you download the Xfree86.dsl and the xf86config.dsl its really pretty easy just install them both then run the xf86config.dsl from the myDSL menu and follow the wizard. Its good to know what graphics chipset you are running.

Heres a link to how i got xfree86 up and running on my laptop its in the thread at this link:

The only other thing I can think of is a faster network connection. If your doing this over wireless you may consider pluggin in a cat5 cable and seeing if the faster network speed helps some.

GL and hope to hear how it turns out.

I would think the mount prob is you have to do "sudo su" and then mount it. If you have a hd-install and want it to be static you have to alter the "fstab" which is located in /etc and add "user" to mountoptions.

I wrote this line in /opt/bootlocal.sh :

rdekstop -f -a 16 nameserver

and then rebooted, but still I've to launch rdesktop manually, how can I do it automatically (like transforming old PCs in thin clients)?
