Synopsis
rdesktop bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated rdesktop packages that fix a display bug on dual-display systems
are now available.
Description
rdesktop is an open source client for Windows NT® Terminal Server and
Windows® 2000 Terminal Services, capable of natively speaking Remote
Desktop Protocol (RDP) in order to present the user's Windows NT or Windows
2000 desktop. Unlike the Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) from
Citrix®, rdesktop requires no server extensions.
- on dual-display systems running the Xinerama extension, if the rdesktop
window was placed such that it straddled the two displays, remote windows
within rdesktop would not always display properly. Specifically, dragging a
remote application window within rdesktop across the two screens caused a
portion of the remote window either side of the break between said screens
to turn black.
All rdesktop users should upgrade to these updated rdesktop pacakges, which
contain backported patches that resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
