Re: unified patches not working

[Eric Newman <enewman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here are my results from various patches:

All of the following are using -4
18-3: mangled graphics, crash after logon and doing anything.
18-1: same
17-2: same
16-1: same
15-1: same
14-2: immediate crash before logon. window opens, closes with crash.

I finally got it to work on rdesktop-unified-patch12, after setting
BYTES_PER_PIXEL to 4 in rdesktop.h. This is all cool... but I was one of
the ones having the refresh problems with my rdesktop window, and would
like the redraw hack that was recently posted. :-) Unfortunately, that
patch is applied to rdesktop-1.0.0 that has already been patched with
rdesktop-unified-patch16-1. I guess I could examine all files involved
and figure it out, but these latest patches need to be fixed anyway...

Thanks a lot for your time and effort!
