Description:

I've updated the long-standing patch for Xinerama support in rdesktop to version 1.7.1. I've also created an AUR PKGBUILD (rdesktop-xinerama).

It seems that upstream isn't responding to this at all. Relevant upstream bug reports:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1238593&group_id=24366&atid=381350
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1492062&group_id=24366&atid=381347
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3148409&group_id=24366&atid=381349

I'd like to propose adding this patch to the official version of rdesktop in the ABS.
   rdesktop-xinerama.patch (5.1 KiB)
This task depends upon

If upstream doesnt support it, why should we add it and yes it looks like the project is kinda unmaintained. Freerdp might be a better alternative.

Assigned to latest packager.

I've reassigned to the maintainers of the 2 packages that depends on it.

krdc doesn't need it. So, since we do not apply non-upstream patch, -1 for me.
