Then I suggest the problem is that you did something wrong as I use X11rdp every single day on a 64bit CentOS 5 platform for nearly a year now. I don't think I have yet experienced a crash, though occasionally xrdp refuses to reconnect to an existing session. > Please, do not misunderstand me, most problems may be inside xrdp > because is not so *mature* for X11rdp but at this moment Xvnc + xrdp > is the only thing that works very well. > > I simply suggest to use Xvnc until X11rdp and xrdp will be production ready... > I would argue that based on my experience that it is. > > I tested xrdp (0.5.0)+X11rdp with Oracle forms 10g launched by LXE > handhelds on CentOS 5.4.

With the former I using a 1Gbps connection I can stream a DVD movie at full resolution without droping frames. Xvnc practically pegs the CPU of the server (a quad core 3.4GHz Xeon with 16GB of RAM). > * different colors Nope, apart from the one bug with magenta lines appearing in Java apps I don't see that at all. > * xrdp crashes Again not a problem here, and nothing X11rdp does should ever be able to cause xrdp to crash.
