I'm on a Raspberry Pi model B+. I'm running Raspbian-Lite 9 Jesse. My super lightweight GUI is xorg + fluxbox.

The rdesktop command works great - EXCEPT...

All of these commands give me the same color depth (24). I can't reduce the color depth to 8. I actually can't get any color depth except for 24.

rdesktop -u user@dnsdomain.com -p password -f -a 8  win10propc
rdesktop -u user@dnsdomain.com -p password -f -a 16 win10propc
rdesktop -u user@dnsdomain.com -p password -f -a 24 win10propc
rdesktop -u user@dnsdomain.com -p password -f -a 32 win10propc

Any ideas why rdesktop is just simply ignoring my color depth argument?

-a

Sets the colour depth for the connection (8, 15, 16 or 24). More than 8 bpp are only supported when connecting to Windows XP (up to 16 bpp) or newer. Note that the colour depth may also be limited by the server configuration. The default value is the depth of the root window.

It seems that the server you're using is not offering any other depths besides 24 bpp.
