RDesktop

[Hedgecore]

I spent some time on the weekend searching for RDesktop. I know it's still in the preliminary stages but with the chance to possibly get a KB working with the 770 it might prove to be useful now. Where the heck is the .DEB? I can't find the 770 version *anywhere*.

The .deb may not be built for MAEMO but maybe the ARM binaries will help you.

I can't find those either. :)

If an rdesktop package were available for use on the 770, then you would know it with certainty. Such a package is not available currently. You'll have to wait until someone ports it to the platform.

Aaron: Understandable, however I've seen a screen cap as well as someone else mention they were running an unstable version in the "What's on your 770" thread so I was curious. I know whatever's out there isn't even close to being stable, I just wanted to dabble (seems like the stream of new apps out has been dwindling lately)

Hi Hedgecore,

I've e-mailed back and forth with the developer of this alpha version of rdesktop, and at this stage, it is basically an X applcation that has no support for the virtual keyboard.

Stream of apps dwindling: well, if you want to keep informed, just check the recent changes on the maemo wiki. There have been various ports recently, although most of them are simply builds of command-line tools.

Ah so still no virtual KB support. Ergo, kind of useless in it's current state without a BT KB. Thanks for the info, I'll hold off until later.
