Mouse pointer isn't shown while rdesktop connection to windows

(1/2) > >>

Hampelmann91:
Hello,
if I set up remote desktop connection to windows then there is no mouse pointer to be seen.
It is there but not visible.
I can make mouse pointer visible by setting registry entry in windows (HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\UserPreferencesMask Value 9E1E078012000000).

Is there a way to make mouse pointer visible without changing registry?   

polikuo:
Which TC / windows are you using ?
What's the full command you type ?

Those extensions are old and probably need to be recompiled.
You can try my old build script for x86_64 here.
BTW, you might wanna read the wiki:creating_extensions.

Since I don't have a working PC for testing at the moment.
You can takeover the management of the extension if you'd like to.

Hello,
I use TC versions 6,7,8 and 9.
Windows version is Windows Server 2012 r2 terminal Server.
I use command
--- Code: ---rdesktop -f serverIP
--- End code ---
But I tried out other parameters with same result.

I will try to recompile it...

Hampelmann91:
I successful recompiled from your script.
But I get error "Retrying with plain RDP", Core(error): locale_to_utf16().....
It's to difficult for me to solve that problem.

In meantime I find out problem doesn't exist with other Windows server 2012 r2 (I don't know why).
So I will set up all connections in future to new server.

Hi Hampelmann91
Have you tried disabling the mouse shadow on your Server 2012 machine?

1. Go to  Control Panel  and open  Mouse Options.
2. Click on the  Pointers  tab.
3. Uncheck the  Enable Pointer Shadow  option at the bottom of that tab.
4. Click  Apply  and then  OK.
