Hi, 
I recently has the same problem and just fixed it.  It seems that the
configure option for rdesktop in the build environment is wrong.  To fix
this I downloaded the build environment and changed the package.def file
in lbe/ltsp-src/rdesktop configure line to

CONFIGURE = ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-x=${LTSP_ROOT}/usr/X11R6

and then rebuilt the entire thing which can take a while.  Then I tarred
lbe/opt and copied it to my ltsp server and set up a new nfs export.  I
copied any config files in etc from my old export and now rdesktop works
with the numpad and the arrow keys.  I also was unable to connect to the
SOURCE1 in the package.def file.  My new file is as follows:


#

VERSION       = 1.2.0
RELEASE       = 0
PKG1COMPONENT = ltsp_rdesktop
PKG1NAME      = ltsp-rdesktop

PKG1          = rdesktop-1.3.1.tar.gz
MD5SUM1       = 968a1e3f5161bab80c306df31c54cfb1
SOURCE1 =
http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/rdesktop/rdesktop-1.3.1.t
ar.gz
UNPACK1   = gunzip < ${TARBALL} | tar xf -

BUILDDIR  = rdesktop-1.3.1
SOURCEDIR = rdesktop-1.3.1

CONFIGURE = ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-x=${LTSP_ROOT}/usr/X11R6

BUILD     = make -j ${CPUS}

INSTALL   =  make DESTDIR=${LTSP_ROOT} prefix=/usr install && \
             cp ../rdesktop-screen ${LTSP_ROOT}/etc/screen.d/rdesktop

CLEAN     = rm -rf ${BUILDDIR} ${SOURCEDIR}


This upgrades to rdesktop 1.3.1 hope this helps.  I am also using the
cvs 4.0.1 version of ltsp.

Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] Keyboard problem with ltsp and rdesktop

I can run rdesktop from the console of my redhat server and my keyboard
work
perfectly.  If I run rdesktop on a thin client running ltsp the numeric
keypad does not work regardless of the numlock setting. The arrow keys
on
the keyboard do not work either. The right ctrl key does not work as
well.
why?  How can I fix it.
 
 
Thanks
 
Tom Somers
