Ok, I just did some testing and it looks like it depends on what
framebuffer depth is used.

rdesktop-1.5.0_1 works fine if xorg 7.2 runs with a depth of 24 (32 bpp
framebuffer). If I switch to a depth of 16 on the other hand,
rdesktop-1.5.0_1 segfaults most of the time. It doesn't matter what
color depth I choose for the connection (rdesktop command line argument).

If I apply the patch (which I attached in one of my earlier posts)
everything runs fine, regardless what color depth is used.

All this has been tested on FBSD6.2 using xorg v7.2 (nv driver)
connecting to a Windows 2003 SP2.

Can anyone confirm my results? Or do some tests using other systems/setups?

cheers,

tom.
