Hi guys,
I have a question, unfortunately I wasn't able to answer it by reading all the
information on your website.
Here is some background information:
We would like to forward the windows of some graphical X11 clients on Linux
servers to our admins. The admins have both VNC and RDP clients readily
available, what we can't have is a local X server to do plain vanilla X11
forwarding. Out of RDP and VNC we would prefer RDP due to the generally better
performance of that protocol (security is taken care of differently, so not an
issue in this case).
So my question is, is xrdp providing somewhat "real" X11-to-RDP translation, or
is it basically just providing an RDP interface to VNCish data derived from the
X11 display. I am not that familiar with the inner workings of RDP but I
believe one can operate it in a way similar to VNC ("dialing it down" ?), but
that would offset most of the RDP advantages over VNC. Am I making any sense?
If xrdp were just pretty much wrapping VNC data, the additional RDP layer is
rather useless to us, as we have VNC clients available as well and can use VNC
directly e.g. via Xvnc.
Thank you, every input is appreciated.
Kind regards,
Björn Wiedenmann
