URL:http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/Makefile.diffDescription:Makefile changes which makes it possible to compile rdesktop on SunOSand OSF1.Status:Applied (slightly modified)URL:http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/assar_19-7-2.hostlen.patchDescription:Fix for hostnames longer than 30 chars. Status:Applied (revision 1.11 of secure.c) URL:http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/backingstore+privatecolormap-for-19-3-9.patchDescription:This adds support for 1) Private color maps (useful for 8 bpp mode)and 2) backingstore selection. Status:1) is not needed anymore; rdesktop automatically uses Private colormap in 8 bpp mode. 2) is, as far as I understand, also notneed. rdesktop automatically uses a software backing store if theXserver does not provide one. URL:http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/ben_xwin.c.diffDescription:Fixes for CapsLock and NumLock. Status:Not needed anymore, with the new keyboard mapping implementation.

URL:http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/downkeypatch.diffDescription:Seems to keep track of the remote modifier status. Status:Not needed anymore, with the new keyboard mapping implementation. URL:http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/fasttext2+nobackpixmap.patchDescription:(From http://mail.rdesktop.org/archive/2001/msg00218.html):1) Added --no-backpixmap option to disable the ugly double drawing inxwin.c (I have a very robust backing storage in my X, so I don't needit ;)2) More optimizations to text draw (previous fast-text patch wasincluded in 192-3-6-2). In text drawing with solid background theglyphs are drawn with stippled fill instead of XCopyPlane (runs fasteron my S3Trio64 with XFree 3.3.6, please test it on otherconfigurations to validate this). The WinTach not show any improvementwith this change, it seems to use all transparent background textdraws, but with a old PC Magazine Winbench (3.1) doing the scroll texttest the speed gain is significative.3) My Previous patch to disable backing storage in fullscreenStatus:1) is not relevant any more, since rdesktop only uses backing store ifthe Xserver does not provide backing store. Need to examine if 2) and 3) are still useful. TBD. URL:http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/francisco_fix_patblt.htmlDescription:The colors in patterns drawn with "pattern blt" order was inverted (fg& bg).

URL:http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/hostname-patchDescription:(From http://mail.rdesktop.org/archive/2001/msg00163.html):rdesktop uses gethostname to figure out the hostname, but gethostnameunder linux returns an error when the hostname is longer than thebuffer.
