I had a similar problem. I posted a while ago on how I fixed it. I will copy the old post below. I also put a binary of rdesktop here http://sfmidaho.com/~tlackey/rdesktop/ Which you may want to just try to see if it works.
Hi, I recently had 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 Ashwin Gami _00007020_ Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 12:41 AM To: root Cc: ltsp Subject: Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Keyboard Problem in rdesktop I have redhat 9 + ltsp 4 whole keyboard works fine with startx but with rdesktop my arrow keys, number pad, pg up, pg down, home, end, ins and delete doesn't work. and there are no entries for keyboard in lts.conf On Mon, 9 Aug 2004, root wrote: > On Saturday 07 August 2004 02:28, Joey S.
