Hi, I have troubles with characters being mirrored in rdesktop. Not all characters, just some, enough to create confusion (for example parens and square brackets can get mirrored). I've written up a short explanation as well as some screenshots on http://q1.se/rdesktop/ to show what I mean. Please help me to get this sorted out. This is getting on my nerves, but I cannot for certain blame rdesktop - on another computer running the same OS (Debian GNU/Linux) and versions of installed packages does not experience this problem. The hardware differs, though. (Mine is a HP NC4000, the other one is an IBM Thinkpad X31). I have ONLY seen the mirrored characters in rdesktop, no other software exhibits the problem. Thank you in advance, Best Regards Kristoffer Sjöberg |

He told me he started to have this problem after he updated his notebook to suse linux 9.1. What does suse 9.1 and your instalation have in common? Maybe their using x.org Xserver instead of xfree? I don't know, just a wild guess. []s Adilson. |

I am using xfree86 4.2.1 on Debian system (woody). The graphics card driver is ati (with framebuffer on), The graphics card is ATI Radeon 7500. As far as I can remember, the same problem was going on on my older machine, which had SiS 620 graphics chipset and used sis driver (again, with framebuffer on). Tomas |

Ok, so, until now, we have 2 machines with ATI card, one with a SiS620, both with framebuffer on. Kristoffer, do you know if your machine is using framebuffer driver as well? I'm not sure but I think that my customer is using a notebook with an ATI board as well. []s Adilson. |

Add the following to your XF86Config Device-Section: Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect" Regards, Michael |
