Hi Marc-André and freerdp-devel:While I was poking around trying to figure out why "xfreerdp --rfx" displays Aero on the desktop with 0.9 and does not with 1.0 (to the same RDVH server from the same client), I compiled a list of all the places I found differences in the capabilities advertised by the client in the TsConfirmActivePDU message. Interpretation was done by the netmon program on the Hyper-V server (intercepting messages to the RDP/RFX virtual machine by putting the interfaces into promiscuous mode).
Attached is the full list of differences (unless I overlooked one). Some of these look like potential problems or typos in the freerdp capabilities set. I don't yet know if one or more of them is causing the no-Aero problem, or whether it's later in the message stream. It might be worth looking over the differences regardless. For instance, did freerdp-1.0 purposely change the pointer support from color to monochrome, disable offscreen support, turn off glyph support, etc.?
