freerdp client

Because of the huge number of critical issues in rdesktop it will be greate if somebody compile freerdp for TCL and add an extension with it to main repository.

http://freerdp.com/

Now in freerdp (v0.8.1) solved all very old problems of rdesktop, so there is no reason to use rdesktop.

sounds interesting to me, gonna give it a try and submit ASAP

I'm waiting for it rdesktop from TCL stopped worked with my win2008r2 servers at all

sorry, just been busy this weekend... freerdp and freerdp-dev now sent for submission!

The big catch with FreeRDP, sadly, is that it doesn't do keyboards correctly with Xvesa.  One must use Xorg.  Hopefully someone brilliant in programming will fix this very soon :-)

J.E.B.

aha... I thought my keyboard was a bit squiffy. I got round rdesktop failing with 2008 R2 by launching via a script and if ~/.rdesktop/ exists, then chown root:root .rdesktop/ and that fixes it - even when server is set to per device licensing.

I want to test freerdp with 2008 R2 session broker. If anybody has tested this and knows if it works...

Or you can just delete the content of .rdesktop everytime before you call rdesktop, e.g.

Code: [Select]

rm -f ~/.rdesktop/* ; rdesktop server

We have Win2008R2 running with session broker, I was able to login but immediately got a black screen (maybe due to redirection/session implementation of MS RDP) and then freerdp quit.

Hi, i see, there is a new freeRDP 1.0, is it possible to add it into TC ?

i think, it's still beta, but i am very curious, how new version is working with TC.

To add beta releases to the official repository is against the TC repo policy. However you can compile and try it, even you do not need a .tcz package yourself, whuch can be easily created BTW. See WIKI.

FreeRDP 1.0.0 has been released and I uploaded it to the repo. Xorg-7.6 is not a strict dep but it is likely necessary... just in case you experience keyboard problems.
