#16 Line breaks and splash screens

[Anonymous]

Great job, I appreciate the work that has been done here.

I've been working on this in Win2k and Vmware, and just
kept getting stuck with wierd errors when my sessions
were about to load, unless I used the default config.

Finally figured out that I was saving the netstation.conf
from notepad onto my windows tftp/dhcp server and the
line breaks were screwing it up. Took the config into
linux and cleaned it up, all works good... wish I had
thought of that 3 days ago..

Now everything is beautiful (using 9.0pre3), just a couple
questions.

1. Is there a way to configure a splash screen, so an
end user would se something prettier than all the text
flying by.. I saw the logos in there, but I'm not a linux
expert by any means and didnt know where to start.

2. I had seen mention of high-color in some notes
somewhere on rdesktop, but I can only get 8bit. Does
anyone know of a way to get rdesktop to work in higher
bit depths, or another linux viewer that might?

Thanks again.

Well I've figured out that W2k only does 8bit, so scratch that
question. Another thing I'm looking at.. I'd love to have rxvt
loaded on session #1 for troubleshooting. I've set that up in
config, but if im logged in to TS on session 0 and I do ALT F2
to switch over, I get "RXVT NOT LOADED". Is there a way to
make this work? In Rdesktop I'm also seeing that NUMLOCK
screws up the standard arrow keys, to make them send
numbers. Does anybody know if this has something to do
with my keymap, or is rdesktop not monitoring actual scan
codes, so it cant tell the difference.

Got those fixed too. Managed to get latest CVS build o R-
desktop built in, fixed my numlock problem. Found out that
needed Blackbox to get xrvt to work. I got a splash logo built
in for pxelinux, I'd still like to clean the boot messages, but it
is turning out more difficult than I realized.
