[solved]Keyboard layout on TS (freeRDP)
« on: July 24, 2012, 05:49:04 PM »
Gentlemen,

My keyboard layout is "pt-br" (br-ABNT2).
With freeRDP session keys, as \, /, Windows Hotkey's not working.
The TS server is Windows 2008 ...
Using the FAQ, I did loadkeymap procedure, but without success.

What else can I do?

You could always try Xorg and its keymaps.

I edited the topic headline to include freerdp there.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Hi BrunoBeresa
Xorg is also required in order for Copy/Paste between Windows and Linux to function.

Other question,

My video card is a XGI Z9S...
I downloaded Xf86-video-XGI.tcz, but failed...

I made a script for automatic startup, put the parameter -a 32??

Example:

xfreerdp -d DOMAIN -k 0x00010416(abnt2 pt-br) -a 32 SERVER_IP

any recommendations?

Hi BrunoBeresa
I connect to a couple of Windows 2008 R2 servers with NLA enabled using the command in this thread:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,13550.msg75202.html#msg75202
I don't use the -a parameter since I've switched to Xorg. When I tried running under Xvesa, the colors got
messed up with a 16 bit depth. There is a screen shot attached to this post that shows those results:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,13058.msg71982.html#msg71982
The colors should be the stock Windows 2008 scheme, light blue desktop, dark blue titlebar etc. Those
red and green colors are wrong.

OK, it's working ...

I wanted to increase the performance already logged on to Windows Server 2008, such as open windows and files ...
so I thought the right driver ...

Hi BrunoBeresa
The video driver should only effect the performance of the local computer. I think the main thing that will limit
the performance of your logged in session is the speed of your network connection to the remote machine.

I can not edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa...

For change "vesa" with "sis" or "XGI"...

Hi BrunoBeresa
This is a common complaint. Maybe that file should be named  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.example  instead.
Anyway, do this:
Code: [Select]
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa /etc/X11/xorg.confand edit the  /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Make sure you add it to your backup when you are done.

Hi BrunoBeresa
You need to edit this file as the root user, for example:
Code: [Select]
sudo editor /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hi BrunoBeresa
Hit  Ctrl-Backspace, you should see a black screen with a prompt, if there is no prompt, just hit the enter key
and it should appear. Now enter  startx  and if all goes well, your GUI should appear shortly.

I don't understand, do mean you lose your changes when you reboot?
