Short answer: No.
Long answer: You can specify the desired resolution for the connection with the -g option on the command line; not sure if there's an option in the GUI, but if not it would be simple enough to add. Unfortunately, there are no scrollbars; it just extends beyond the N800's screen, so not real useful.
Two options still exist:Really, their app ought to deal with small resolutions gracefully (i.e. with its own scrollbar(s)), but I doubt you'll get that fixed easily.
- Using a command-line option, rdesktop can embed itself into a window; a wrapper with scrollbars could be made, into which it could embed itself. This would also make non-fullscreen work a touch better.
- Using FVWM, you can scrollbar any window; you can also use a virtual desktop larger than the screen, so really there's two fixes. FVWM is pretty easy to get working, especially on the N810 where you don't have to muck about with making sure everything is touchscreen-operable. But it is a bit advanced, so you may not want to get in that deep.
Cool. Hope it works out for you.

Use waf configure, then just waf.
I'm not sure it will fit your needs though, since i don't embed the started application in the window.

I may or may not get anywhere with this, but I'll kick it around a little anyway.

Benson,
Thanks so much.....let me know what you find.....and then if you could explain how I need to set it up, that would be great. I do not know Linux at all, but I am starting down that path, and this will be my entry into it.
I appreciate anything you can do....
Steve

therock_80: After doing some research, I have found the cause of this and will fix it before releasing the next version. This requires some extra work on the GUI side of things, so the next version should be released some time this weekend.

As for the 770 version, I didn't have any free time this weekend, so I'll try to get scratchbox for the 770 installed sometime this week...
Keep up the good work!

Is it possible to add an option so it will not go into windowed mode when the backlight dimms or when you connect it to the charger? Rdesktop is the only app I run on the device...and would prefer to have it fullscreen all the time.
thanks,
peter

peter

Sorry everyone, but real life has gotten in the way of more development for pyRdesktop, so I'm a little behind on releases. I have a fix for the profile loading issue, but still need to do some GUI and coding work for the desktop background to show. I'll work on it as much as I can and try to get a new version out by next weekend, although I appear to have a busy schedule for next weekend too. Long story short, the next version will come out when I have enough time to finish it.
peterbird: Hmm, it's hard to say. I'm still not very comfortable with rdesktop-cli's code, and how display dimming, connecting to charger, etc. work, so this would be (for me) pretty difficult to implement. I realize that the fullscreen/unfullscreen behavior of rdesktop is just plain wrong, but I'm just not sure how to fix it. The GUI is, and always will be, top priority for me, because something like that is easy to work around. If I get a chance, I will try to play around with the code and see if I can get it to work right. But, as always, no promises.

Benson:
Did you get anywhere with testing to see if you could add the scroll bars to RDesktop application using WAF or WVFM..?
I didnt know if you had any time to test to see if it was possible.
Let me know,
Thanks,
Steve
