hctif LQ Newbie Registered: Nov 2004 Posts: 7 Rep:	rdesktop: blank login screen problem When I fire up rdesktop it connects, opens an rdesktop screen with a black background, and doesn't display the login prompt (or anything else). I suspect it is a display problem 'cos when I move the mouse my DSL modem lights flash to indicate traffic is being sent. Rebooting under WinXP and using remote desktop to the same Terminal Server works just fine so I figure I have an rdesktop / X problem. Has anyone seen / heard of this? Any suggestions? Thanks
