121    .TP

125    .BR "-x <experience>"
126    Changes default bandwidth performance behaviour for RDP5. By default only
127    theming is enabled, and all other options are disabled (corresponding
128    to modem (56 Kbps)). Setting experience to b[roadband] enables menu
129    animations and full window dragging. Setting experience to l[an] will
130    also enable the desktop wallpaper. Setting experience to m[odem]
131    disables all (including themes). Experience can also be a hexidecimal
132    number containing the flags.
133    .TP
134    .BR "-P"
135    Enable caching of bitmaps to disk (persistent bitmap caching). This generally
136    improves performance (especially on low bandwidth connections) and reduces
137    network traffic at the cost of slightly longer startup and some disk space.

139    sessions)
140    .TP
141    .BR "-r <device>"
142    Enable redirection of the specified device on the client, such
143    that it appears on the server. Note that the allowed
144    redirections may be restricted by the server configuration.
145    
146    Following devices are currently supported:
147    .TP
148    .BR "-r comport:<comport>=<device>,..."
149    Redirects serial devices on your client to the
150    server. Note that if you need to change any settings on the serial device(s),
151    do so with an appropriate tool before starting rdesktop. In most
152    OSes you would use stty. Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer.
153    In Windows 2000 it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most
154    shell programs will not work with it.
155    .TP
156    .BR "-r disk:<sharename>=<path>,..."
157    Redirects a path to the share \\\\tsclient\\<sharename> on the server
158    (requires Windows XP or newer). The share name is limited to 8
159    characters.
160    .TP
161    .BR "-r lptport:<lptport>=<device>,..."
162    Redirects parallel devices on your client to the server.
163    Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer. In Windows 2000
164    it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most shell programs will not work with
165    it.
166    .TP
167    .BR "-r printer:<printername>[=<driver>],..."
168    Redirects a printer queue on the client to the server. The <printername>
169    is the name of the queue in your local system. <driver> defaults to a
170    simple PS-driver unless you specify one. Keep in mind that you need a
171    100% match in the server environment, or the driver will fail. The first
172    printer on the command line will be set as your default printer.
173    .TP
174    .BR "-r sound:[local|off|remote]"
175    Redirects sound generated on the server to the client. "remote" only has
176    any effect when you connect to the console with the -0 option. (Requires
177    Windows XP or newer).
178    .TP
179    .BR "-0"
180    Attach to the console of the server (requires Windows Server 2003
181    or newer).
182    .TP
183    .BR "-4"
184    Use RDP version 4.
185    .TP
186    .BR "-5"
