I'm trying rdesktop on a Raspberry pi using the RPi Thin Client with rdesktop version 1.8.2 When I connect to a Windows Server 2012 R2 server running Remote Desktop Session. I can connect and everything appears fine except the cursor. The cursor is a black I-Beam all the time. On the default background, this is pretty much invisible. I also downloaded the 1.8.2 source onto a OpenSUSE 12.3 machine and compiled rdesktop. I observe the same results. The command line I used is: ./rdesktop -g 1024x768 -a 16 -d mydomain -u myuser -x b -a 16 servername I also tried -x l and that didn't make any difference. I would really like to use rdesktop, but I've got to have a cursor. If there are any switches I could use, or if this is fixed in github, please let me know. -- George Sexton *MH Software, Inc.* Voice: 303 438 9585 http://www.mhsoftware.com |

I can't reproduce it exactly at will, but I can see it happening a lot. What I'm seeing is that the cursor is getting "stuck" in various modes. Sometimes the mode is the invisible black i-beam. Other times, it's a pointer with an hour glass. If I go in and out of Excel, I can make it sometimes be a row-resize, or a down-arrow, or large plus sign. Once I had made it a down-arrow, and then I went into Firefox, and it changed to the ibeam. I could get then change it back to something else in Excel... -- George Sexton *MH Software, Inc.* Voice: 303 438 9585 http://www.mhsoftware.com |

FWIW, I experienced this behavior intermittently last week on Windows 8.1 to Server 2012R2 using the windows built-in mstsc.exe. I.e. It may not be a rdesktop issue. Elizabeth Greene |

I think its an rdesktop bug related to pointer shadowing. Try to disable "pointer shadow" at control panel/mouse for a temp. solution.

This fix was verified working and is included in release 1.8.2. You mentioned that you tested 1.8.2 and could produce this issue, could you please double check if that is the case. If so, could it be that you had a domain policy that overrided the pointer shadow settings ? > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > From: eli...@gm... > > Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 20:17:19 -0500 > > To: ge...@mh... > > CC: rde...@li... > > Subject: Re: [rdesktop-users] 1.8.2 - No Cursor w/ Windows Server > > 2012 R2 > > > > FWIW, I experienced this behavior intermittently last week on > > Windows 8.1 to Server 2012R2 using the windows built-in mstsc.exe. > > I.e.

This fix was verified > working and is included in release 1.8.2. I tried using 1.8.2 compiled from source on OpenSUSE 12.3. Logging in as an administrator, if I enabled mouse pointer shadowing in control panel, the cursor stayed stuck on an hourglass. When I opened control panel, and changed it back to disabled, the cursor resumed normal operation. I can reproduce these steps about 80% of the time. The server is running Windows Server 2012 R2 with all patches applied and the connection is via WAN, or LAN. > > You mentioned that you tested 1.8.2 and could produce this issue, could > you please double check if that is the case.

Looking at the code, you're setting RDP5_NO_CURSOR_SHADOW as the default for g_rdp5_performanceflags in the declaration, but the command-line parser (rdesktop.c line778), just overrides the value if you specify -x and another value. For example, -x m, -x b. In short, specifying -x eliminates the "fix" of applying "RDP5_NO_CURSOR_SHADOW". -- George Sexton *MH Software, Inc.* Voice: 303 438 9585 http://www.mhsoftware.com |
