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: # # package.def file for building a package in the the LTSP build environment # # Copyright (c) 2003 by James A.

I am also using the cvs 4.0.1 version of ltsp. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Somers, Thomas P.

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.
