25Description:
26This adds support for 1) Private color maps (useful for 8 bpp mode)
27and 2) backingstore selection.
28Status:
291) is not needed anymore; rdesktop automatically uses Private color
30map in 8 bpp mode. 2) is, as far as I understand, also not
31need. rdesktop automatically uses a software backing store if the
32Xserver does not provide one.

61Description:
62(From http://mail.rdesktop.org/archive/2001/msg00218.html):
63
641) Added --no-backpixmap option to disable the ugly double drawing in
65xwin.c (I have a very robust backing storage in my X, so I don't need
66it ;)
67
682) More optimizations to text draw (previous fast-text patch was
69included in 192-3-6-2). In text drawing with solid background the
70glyphs are drawn with stippled fill instead of XCopyPlane (runs faster
71on my S3Trio64 with XFree 3.3.6, please test it on other
72configurations to validate this). The WinTach not show any improvement
73with this change, it seems to use all transparent background text
74draws, but with a old PC Magazine Winbench (3.1) doing the scroll text
75test the speed gain is significative.
76
773) My Previous patch to disable backing storage in fullscreen
78
79Status:
801) is not relevant any more, since rdesktop only uses backing store if
81the Xserver does not provide backing store.
82Need to examine if 2) and 3) are still useful. TBD.

112Description:
113(From http://mail.rdesktop.org/archive/2001/msg00163.html):
114
115rdesktop uses gethostname to figure out the hostname, but gethostname
116under linux returns an error when the hostname is longer than the
117buffer. This hack gives gethostname a 64 char buffer and then strips
118the first 16 chars or upto the first '.' and puts the result in
119hostname[16].
