I've had great success with similar configurations with xrdp from the FreeBSD ports tree. I haven't tried xrdp from Git, but I'd assume that works with the addition of the patches from the ports tree. >> Is there a version of X11rdp that will build with these sources?

I had a go at updating the x11rdp codebase to work with a newer xorg-server-1.7.7 but had very little success. I also don't have a good enough understanding of the X.org server internals to be able to hack it from scratch. >> 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.

Certainly, the multi-head support in the X server framework has changed from my reading of the code. >> 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. Seconded, although my interpretation is that getting to X11R7.6 (well, getting past X11R7.[2345]) will be challenging. >> 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?

I did some research around the time I was experimenting with X11rdp, and didn't find any real documentation of the newer features of the RDP protocol, such as RemoteFX or the TLS variant used after Vista. I'm also not sure how to implement the multi-head functionality of the RDP protocol (but I doubt it would work with the VNC<->RDP bridge in xrdp, and would need work to achieve in X11rdp).
