Hi Buck, > Over the past couple weeks I have been successfully using > FreeRDP-xrdp-cadad6e from git along with x11rdp_xorg71 svn rev. 298 with the > following systems: > FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE i386 > FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE amd64 > FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE amd64
Great, I was wondering if BSD still works with xrdp. > I have a few questions for you or anyone else on the list who might know. > > I see there is an xorg/ directory with X11R7.6/ in the git sources... Yes, that is the attempt to update X11rdp to the newest Xorg source. Currently, the script downloads and builds Xorg but not X11rdp. I have to change the code a bit as the architecture of Xorg keeps changing. It gets really difficult to have one source code that can build for many Xorg versions. > Is there a version of X11rdp that will build with these sources? If not, > what needs to be done? Not yet, if you look at x11rdp_xorg71/xorg-server-X11R7.1-1.1.0/hw/rdp/ You can see the X11rdp specific code that needs to be built with the new Xorg code. > How much of this has changed since X11R7.1-1.1.0? Since 7.1 to 7.6, the privates have change and I thing the region API has changed too. All the same functionality is there, they just changed the function names. > Do you have any reason to believe bumping up to 7.7 would be much more > difficult? > (This is the version in FreeBSD ports, and I imagine that could greatly > simply my build) Going from 7.6 to 7.7 should be really easy. > Is X11rdp capable of taking advantage of AIGLX or any sort of GPU > acceleration if it is built with the proper dependencies? > Would this even provide any noticeable benefits for day to day remote > desktop tasks? (Web browsing, text editing...) No, since X11rdp is multi user on one system, all the drawing is software based. This can be a complicated topic, if you did something like RemoteFX virtual GPU you could see some benefits but most blade server don't have much of a GPU. I hope I'm able to answer your questions. I'm looking for help on X11rdp is you or anyone is interested. I can pay for work.
