Can't connect to VDI with rdesktop on Linux - mstsc works fine?

793991Jul 21 2009 — edited Jul 21 2009
I've got a VDI demo environment set up, and I can't seem to connect to it with rdesktop on Linux (Ubuntu Jaunty). I've tried both the stock 1.6.0 and the modified version of 1.6.0 included with VirtualBox 2.2. Everything works fine on a Windows client (mstsc). Any ideas?
