Remote desktop keyboard not working

**TurboFool** · #1 (**permalink**) 04-07-2008, 11:32 PM

I've come to rely heavily upon the remote desktop software on my Mogul, but since switching to the new kitchen with the new version of remote desktop (the one that supports mapping the local storage to the remote computer) the keyboard (both hardware and software) no longer functions in a remote session.

Anyone know why and if there's a solution?

Nobody else having this problem?

Yeah, I just discovered this too. I'll post in No2Chem's thread, see if he can fix it...

Where'd you install it to? This happened to me with an old version when I had installed it to the storage card. removing it and installing to the device fixed the keyboard issue. ymmv

Stumbled on this over at MS's forums: https://forums.microsoft.com/windows...&tf=0&pageid=1

Uninstall and then reinstall to main storage and the keyboard (soft and hard) will work just fine.

Thanks so much for this, Finster. This beats every other WM RDP client, hands down.

Yeah, I remember that from the older version of RD. But this one doesn't even have a .cab that I could find, the only way to install it was via OEM, which by default goes into the /windows folder. It works in No2Chem's compiled build, but not from the kitchen. I don't know of a workaround...
If anybody does, please let us know.

So RDP does work with the 5060 rom but not from the kitchen? I thought it didnt work for either.

I just tested from my phone and both the keyboard and SIP keyboard work fine. First question is to make sure you are building with everything up to date. Second, zip and upload your selections.txt so I can see what may possibly be conflicting.

Thanks for the help colonel.
FYI for everybody else, this issue has a workaround.
Look in the stickied PPCKitchen thread (5060)
