That's correct. rdesktop connects to a Windows host (usually) and Windows changes the cursor depending on what it is hovering over. It *is* consistent from a Windows POV -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

When running [net-misc/rdesktop-1.7.1], I've noticed that the mouse pointer is sometimes shaped like a capital letter 'I', like when a mouse pointer is over a string of characters. Sorry, not sure what the proper name for the character is. While at other times, it is a proper mouse pointer, shaped like an arrow. Is it possible to have the proper mouse pointer displayed at all times? Thanks.

This link popped up in 3 seconds using google: http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-50008588/ Old hardware is the best to experiment around withimho. Backup what you can! Personally, I'd do this on a non-critical cell phone first to make sure it work. NOwadays, phone vendors will try to auto-update your phone software/firmware, so do some research on your exact phone model, your carrier and the different projects out there that best suit your goals Many other devices use the same uP so most codes written for similar (family of) Processors will have codes you can compile and use. Cross-Compiling is your friend! SEandroid is way cool, from the folks I have spoken to. good hunting! James

The last time i tried KDE (Plasma Active) on my nexus 7 ot really was pita! Most of the controls where not really designed for touch screens... The concept of the freely placeable plasmoids and the windows also was not realy touch friendly... Of course you can install allmost any Linux with a multiboot-capable kernel (which most of the custom-kernels are...) but you if you really want a gentoo, think about an usb keyboard and at least one bigger iron besides to do crosscompiling! > > People have also installed Ubuntu on the Nexus 7. > Ubuntu?
