Rdesktop?

[davidireland]

Hi...im not sure if anyone is familliar with "rdesktop" but this question is for anyone who is...

Is it possible to use rdesktop to connect remotely to a windows machine and see the windows xp theme? When i connect using rdesktop from my LINUX (damn small linux) laptop, my windows machine reverts to the older style visual theme. Also, is it possible to leave the audio on the remote computer with rdesktop? By that i mean i would like to listen to music and have it come out of the computer, not the laptop. Thanks.

ooh god, not another remote desktop problem!

err, not sure about that try fiddling with the settings on the linux laptop, it could be that it is set to a low bandwidth setting, or it could be that you are using linux, tehrefore the theme is not availible

Also, is it possible to leave the audio on the remote computer with rdesktop? By that i mean i would like to listen to music and have it come out of the computer, not the laptop. Thanks.

again, try looking at the settings, i knwo than on rdesktop in windows xp there is an option to leave the sounds where they are

hope this helps
