Greetings,
i'm trying to set up and xrdp server to connect to my xfce desktop
with microsoft rdp client. I'm only able to connect with Xvnc server
because X11-rdp binary is missing.
This applies to FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE and 8.1-STABLE.
There is a howto for X11-rdp to build it from sources for older
version of X.Org here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/xrdp-authenticates-but-does-not-load-x-server-rdp-592138/ but this doesn't compile on my
system.
There is a directory called rdp in this distribution, however in
current xorg-server 7.5 sources this one is not present anymore. I
have found a note in the mailing lists regarding X11rdp
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-October/039803.html
and it seems dmx server is some kind of replacement? Can anyone
confirm it can be used somehow with xrdp?
There is little to nothing written about X11-rdp so i fear it's
already not developed anymore but maybe some skilled programmer could
check the source code for the older version and adapt it to current
release?

Have you tried /usr/ports/net/xrdp?

Greetings,
xrdp doesn't come either with Xvnc or X11-rdp servers, you have to
supply the binaries separately.

Yes, of course (it doesn't make sense to include such servers
with xrdp). Hmm ... I guess I just don't understand what
your actual problem is. I have successfully used xrdp with
the Xvnc server from the tightvnc port on FreeBSD. This works
quite well with MS RDP clients. In what way does it fail to
work for you?
The only problem is that xrdp doesn't work with all kinds of
third-party clients. I wasn't able to get it to work with a
ViewSonic AirPanel, unfortunately. But that's not the fault
of FreeBSD, so it's off-topic here.
Best regards
Oliver

In current situation i use xrdp with Xvnc successfully as well but
that's RDP falling back to VNC. I'd like to try X11-rdp assuming it
makes full use of purely RDP which would mean faster refresh rates. If
it's not available i'll just have to stick with VNC which is slower in
my view.

I wouldn't call xrdp's VNC back-end a fallback. I rather
think it's the normal mode of operation. The RDP back-end
might not even work correctly anymore because it's not
tested as well since there is no RDP-based X server anymore.
I also question the assumption that the RDP back-end would
be faster. Unless there are any credible benchmarks, I
would not make such assumptions.
Best regards
Oliver
