[rdesktop-devel] rdesktop not working on Suse 9.3 (x86_64 edition)

[Bart B. <bar...@pa...>]

Hello all,

Each time I try to connect to a Window$ machine using rdesktop from the 
x86_64 edition of Suse 9.3, I receive the following error message :

ERROR: The display does not support true colour - high colour support 
unavailable.

Below is the command I use to make the connection (Terminal Services is 
listening on port 9050 instead the standard one) :

rdesktop 192.168.1.1:9050

The Windows$ machine runs Windows 2000 Server.

Below are the details of my system :
- Tyan mainboard
- Dual AMD Opteron 240
- Suse 9.3 Professional (x86_64 edition)
- kernel 2.6.11.4-21.7-smp
- rdesktop version 1.3.1

I've already compiled rdesktop 1.4.1 on my system, but receive the same 
error message.

I don't have any problems connecting to the Window$ machine from the 
i386 edition of Suse 9.3 (tested under VMWare). So, I presume this has 
something to do with the 64-bit edition. Unfortunately, I'm not a 
programmer to figure this out.

I really appreciate any of your help!


Kind regards,

Bart.
