Hi all, I'd like to share my success with non-native RD client on Mac. Microsoft client (v.2.1.1 and below) would experience mouse scrolling issues as suggested previously. However, CoRD (http://cord.sourceforge.net), which is based on Rdesktop, can successfully connect and doesn't have those issues. It is working with a caveat though, where the full screen mode would not update on mouse actions. This was fixed when I used the workaround suggested in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xrdp/+bug/846407, namely in Compiz Configuration Settings Manager the "Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint" setting was switched on. After that everything seems to play nice.
Thank you.
