Testing upstream rdesktop against Win8 Pro, the mentioned patches doesn't seem to be needed at all ? I tested to connect using 16/24 bit depth and graphics works as expected, however the mouse pointer behaves strange hidden from start an appears later in a bad shape... - Sound redirection works, however there is some delay causing audio out of sync when testing a youtube clip. - Smartcard redirection works, tested running tlclient in the remote desktop and enumeration / pin works as expected. However there are something thats not 100%, following message appears in terminal: WARNING: Bogus smart card control code 0x00fd0028 - Printer redirection doesn't seem to work at all, not printer presented in the session, i tried using redirection with specified printer driver that i believe is existing one. - Tested different resolutions and bit depths and it seems to work as expected so the provided patches are not needed at all ? - Tested the keyboard as is and it works as expected except: specifying keyboard layout does not affect on the remote end. The provided patches implements fast key path but that's not needed as far as i can tell. This is also reported in a comment on the link to patches by third part. - CredSSP not tested due to machine doesn't belong to a domain.
No response about this notes from upstream, closing as is.
