  Client hostname.  Normally rdesktop automatically obtains the hostname of the

  .TP
- .BR "-k <layout>"
+ .BR "-k <keyboard-map>"
  Keyboard layout to emulate.  This requires a corresponding keymap file to be
  installed.  The standard keymaps provided with rdesktop follow the RFC1766
  naming scheme: a language code followed by a country code if necessary - e.g.
  en-us, en-gb, de, fr, sv, etc.  The default is en-us (a US keyboard).
+ The keyboard-maps are searched relative to the directories KEYMAP_PATH
+ (specified at build time), $HOME/.rdesktop/keymaps and $CWD/keymaps,
+ in this order. The keyboard-map argument can also be an absolute
+ filename.

  .BR "-e"
  Disable encryption.  This option is only needed (and will only work) if you
  have a French version of NT TSE.

  session.  This is useful with applications that looks at the numlock
  state, but might cause problems with some Xservers like Xvnc.
  .TP
+ .BR "-X <windowid>"
+ Embed rdesktop-window in another window. The windowid is expected to
+ be decimal or hexadecimal (prefixed by 0x).
+ .TP
  .BR "-a <bpp>"
  Sets the colour depth for the connection (8, 15, 16 or 24).
  More than 8 bpp are only supported when connecting to Windows XP
  (up to 16 bpp) or newer.  Note that the colour depth may also be
  limited by the server configuration.
  .TP
+ .BR "-z"
+ Enable compression of the RDP datastream.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-x <experience>"
+ Changes default bandwidth performance behaviour for RDP5. By default only
+ theming is enabled, and all other options are disabled (corresponding
+ to modem (56 Kbps)). Setting experience to b[roadband] enables menu
+ animations and full window dragging. Setting experience to l[an] will
+ also enable the desktop wallpaper. Setting experience to m[odem]
+ disables all (including themes). Experience can also be a hexidecimal
+ number containing the flags.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-P"
+ Enable caching of bitmaps to disk (persistent bitmap caching). This generally
+ improves performance (especially on low bandwidth connections) and reduces
+ network traffic at the cost of slightly longer startup and some disk space.
+ (10MB for 8-bit colour, 20MB for 15/16-bit colour and 30MB for 24-bit colour
+ sessions)
+ .TP
  .BR "-r <device>"
  Enable redirection of the specified device on the client, such
- that it appears on the server.  The only device currently supported
+ that it appears on the server. Note that the allowed
- is "sound" (requires Windows XP or newer).  Note that the allowed
  redirections may be restricted by the server configuration.
+ Following devices are currently supported:
+ .TP
+ .BR "-r comport:<comport>=<device>,..."
+ Redirects serial devices on your client to the
+ server. Note that if you need to change any settings on the serial device(s),
+ do so with an appropriate tool before starting rdesktop. In most
+ OSes you would use stty. Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer.
+ In Windows 2000 it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most
+ shell programs will not work with it.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-r disk:<sharename>=<path>,..."
+ Redirects a path to the share \\\\tsclient\\<sharename> on the server
+ (requires Windows XP or newer). The share name is limited to 8
+ characters.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-r lptport:<lptport>=<device>,..."
+ Redirects parallel devices on your client to the server.
+ Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer. In Windows 2000
+ it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most shell programs will not work with
+ it.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-r printer:<printername>[=<driver>],..."
+ Redirects a printer queue on the client to the server. The <printername>
+ is the name of the queue in your local system. <driver> defaults to a
+ simple PS-driver unless you specify one. Keep in mind that you need a
+% match in the server environment, or the driver will fail. The first
+ printer on the command line will be set as your default printer.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-r sound:[local|off|remote]"
+ Redirects sound generated on the server to the client. "remote" only has
+ any effect when you connect to the console with the -0 option. (Requires
+ Windows XP or newer).
  .TP
  .BR "-0"
  Attach to the console of the server (requires Windows Server 2003
