This file documents some of all patches for rdesktop, floating around
2
the net, and how they are related to the current (CVS) version of
3
rdesktop. Things left to do are marked with TBD (To Be Done).
7
http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/Makefile.diff
9
Makefile changes which makes it possible to compile rdesktop on SunOS
12
Applied (slightly modified)
16
http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/assar_19-7-2.hostlen.patch
18
Fix for hostnames longer than 30 chars.
20
Applied (revision 1.11 of secure.c)
24
http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/backingstore+privatecolormap-for-19-3-9.patch
26
This adds support for 1) Private color maps (useful for 8 bpp mode)
27
and 2) backingstore selection.
29
1) is not needed anymore; rdesktop automatically uses Private color
30
map in 8 bpp mode. 2) is, as far as I understand, also not
31
need. rdesktop automatically uses a software backing store if the
32
Xserver does not provide one.
36
http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/ben_xwin.c.diff
38
Fixes for CapsLock and NumLock.
40
Not needed anymore, with the new keyboard mapping implementation.
44
http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/ctrl1nohang.diff
46
Fixes problem with ctrl1 hangs.
48
Not needed anymore, with the new keyboard mapping implementation.
52
http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/downkeypatch.diff
54
Seems to keep track of the remote modifier status.
56
Not needed anymore, with the new keyboard mapping implementation.
60
http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/fasttext2+nobackpixmap.patch
62
(From http://mail.rdesktop.org/archive/2001/msg00218.html):
64
1) Added --no-backpixmap option to disable the ugly double drawing in
65
xwin.c (I have a very robust backing storage in my X, so I don't need
68
2) More optimizations to text draw (previous fast-text patch was
69
included in 192-3-6-2). In text drawing with solid background the
70
glyphs are drawn with stippled fill instead of XCopyPlane (runs faster
71
on my S3Trio64 with XFree 3.3.6, please test it on other
72
configurations to validate this). The WinTach not show any improvement
73
with this change, it seems to use all transparent background text
74
draws, but with a old PC Magazine Winbench (3.1) doing the scroll text
75
test the speed gain is significative.
77
3) My Previous patch to disable backing storage in fullscreen
80
1) is not relevant any more, since rdesktop only uses backing store if
81
the Xserver does not provide backing store.
82
Need to examine if 2) and 3) are still useful. TBD.
86
http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/francisco_fix_patblt.html
88
The colors in patterns drawn with "pattern blt" order was inverted (fg
89
& bg). (See the background of the yellow help banners)
91
Applied (in revision 1.29, 2002/07/14)
95
http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/frank_1linerfix.html
97

99
Applied (in revision 1.29, 2002/07/14).
103
http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/frank_fasttext.patch.txt
105
Some kind of performence improvements.
107
From what I can tell, this patch is no longer necessary.
111
http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/hostname-patch
113
(From http://mail.rdesktop.org/archive/2001/msg00163.html):
115
rdesktop uses gethostname to figure out the hostname, but gethostname
116
under linux returns an error when the hostname is longer than the
117
buffer. This hack gives gethostname a 64 char buffer and then strips
118
the first 16 chars or upto the first '.' and puts the result in
122
Applied in version 1.10 of rdesktop.c.
