a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncDescription:
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncThis adds support for 1) Private color maps (useful for 8 bpp mode)
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncand 2) backingstore selection.
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsync1) is not needed anymore; rdesktop automatically uses Private color
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncmap in 8 bpp mode. 2) is, as far as I understand, also not
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncneed. rdesktop automatically uses a software backing store if the
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncXserver does not provide one.

a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsync(From http://mail.rdesktop.org/archive/2001/msg00218.html):
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsync1) Added --no-backpixmap option to disable the ugly double drawing in
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncxwin.c (I have a very robust backing storage in my X, so I don't need

a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncwith this change, it seems to use all transparent background text
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncdraws, but with a old PC Magazine Winbench (3.1) doing the scroll text
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsynctest the speed gain is significative.
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsync3) My Previous patch to disable backing storage in fullscreen
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsync1) is not relevant any more, since rdesktop only uses backing store if
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncthe Xserver does not provide backing store.
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncNeed to examine if 2) and 3) are still useful. TBD.

a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsync(From http://mail.rdesktop.org/archive/2001/msg00163.html):
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncrdesktop uses gethostname to figure out the hostname, but gethostname
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncunder linux returns an error when the hostname is longer than the
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncbuffer. This hack gives gethostname a 64 char buffer and then strips
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncthe first 16 chars or upto the first '.' and puts the result in
