[FreeRDP-devel] Wayland with wfreerdp compostor

[Lonnie Cumberland via FreeRDP-devel]

Greetings all,

I have been doing a lot of research lately and have come to understand that
Wayland is just the protocol (like X11) and it uses "Compositors" which
seem to be like applications with a built in server to provide the actual
graphics. This seems like each application is a customer version of a
specialized server on its own.

To that end, I also read that FreeRDP has the Wayland implementation called
"wfreerdp" that seems to be the compositor which uses Wayland.

So then, my next question is to try to figure out what is needed to simply
run the wfreerdp compositor on my FreeBSD box that I have just installed
and which has no graphics server.

I would not like to use Xorg at all, if possible.

If I can get the FreeRDP wfreerdp compositor to work then I do not have to
go back and deal with the very old DirectFB FreeRDP "dfreerdp" version as
that will take a lot of work to get going.

If anyone has some ideas then I would greatly appreciate it
Thanks
Lonnie

The current master branch does not have this error. I apologize for the

[FreeRDP-devel] FreeRDP version 2.2.0 released

[Bernhard Miklautz via FreeRDP-devel]

Hi,

FreeRDP 2.1.2 was a rather sort-lived release and we are now
happy to announce that version 2.2.0 has just been released and uploaded to

https://pub.freerdp.com/releases/

2.2.0 contains a fix for a **security issue** (CVE-2020-15103) we got reported.
In addition to this fix, the release also contains fixes for a grave problem
when connecting to Windows 7 and for a problem with remote applications.


If you are using an older release of FreeRDP we recommend upgrading to 2.2.0.

You can find more details about the release in our blog:

https://www.freerdp.com/2020/07/20/2_2_0-released


Best regards,
the FreeRDP team.

Re: [FreeRDP-devel] Last FreeRDP with DirectFB support?

[Lonnie Cumberland via FreeRDP-devel]

Hi Thomas,

Looks like the 2.0.0-RC4 was not the last version that supported it.

I would be interested in trying to maintain the DirectFB version for the
FreeRDP project if I can get it working for what I need as well, but it
seems to be hard to hear from the actual developers so that I can get
started.

I need to keep looking back to another previous version, I guess.
Cheers
Lonnie

[Thomas Erbesdobler via FreeRDP-devel]

Hi Lonnie,

Just clone the repo with e.g. ```git clone
https://github.com/freerdp/freerdp.git``` and checkout tag "2.0.0-rc4"
by using ```git checkout 2.0.0-rc4``` .
I'm curious what you'll find regarding DirectFB.

Cheers,
Thomas

Re: [FreeRDP-devel] Last FreeRDP with DirectFB support?

[Lonnie Cumberland via FreeRDP-devel]

Hi All,

In searching around, it looks like the FreeRDP 2.0.0-RC4 was the last
version that supported DirectFB.

I do not see a branch in the github site:

https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP

Where can I download it?

Thanks,
Lonnie

[FreeRDP-devel] Last FreeRDP with DirectFB support?

[Lonnie Cumberland via FreeRDP-devel]

Hi All,

After a LOT of research, it seems that my efforts come down to trying to
locate the last FreeRDP source code release that supported DirectFB and
then trying to do what I to make it work on the ultra-thin special version
of FreeBSD that I am working on since all of the other display manager and
graphical system like Xorg and Wayland (weston compositor) just do not meet
the goals.

With that in mind, can someone please tell me what the last FreeRDP branch
that supported DirectFB is so that I can download it and take a look?

Thanks in advance
Lonnie

Re: [FreeRDP-devel] FreeRDP without xorg

[Lonnie Cumberland via FreeRDP-devel]

Thanks for the reply to my inquiry, Thomas.

I am actually looking into Wayland now to see if it would work, but I also
have never used it and do not know how large it is with regard to its
footprint.

On that note and if Wayland is not an option, then I may also consider
trying to get the last version of FreeRDP that had Direct Framebuffer
support and reviatalizing it to try and make it work for my project.

For me, super ultra-small is the name of the game here since it would be
the only graphical application running on the system and I really do not
want any try pfo xserver if I do not have to add it.

Cheers
