23 URL:
24 http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/backingstore+privatecolormap-for-19-3-9.patch
25 Description:
26 This adds support for 1) Private color maps (useful for 8 bpp mode)
27 and 2) backingstore selection.
28 Status:
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.

59 URL:
60 http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/patch19/patches/fasttext2+nobackpixmap.patch
61 Description:
62 (From http://mail.rdesktop.org/archive/2001/msg00218.html):
63
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
66 it ;)
67
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.
76
77 3) My Previous patch to disable backing storage in fullscreen
78
79 Status:
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. TDB.

112 Description:
113 (From http://mail.rdesktop.org/archive/2001/msg00163.html):
114
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
119 hostname[16].
