Re: [PLUG] X server bpp 8
|
it has an option (-a) that is supposed to set the depth. If I set it to
16 (using -a16 option) it says "server 16" the window pops open for a
split second and the program terminates.
So the heart of my problem is figuring out where the issue is - either
in X, rdesktop, or even with the windows terminal server.
