Björn, When using xrdp to connect to a VNC server, yes, only fillrect, scrblt, and memblt are used.
When using X11rdp, it is a real X11 to RDP translation. All the Xorg drawing primitives are hooked up to the RDP orders. There is no VNC. X11rdp is the RDP specific Xserver that is part of this project. Hope this helps.
