Greetings,

i'm trying to set up and xrdp server to connect to my xfce desktop  
with microsoft rdp client. I'm only able to connect with Xvnc server  
because X11-rdp binary is missing.

This applies to FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE and 8.1-STABLE.

There is a howto for X11-rdp to build it from sources for older  
version of X.Org here  
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/xrdp-authenticates-but-does-not-load-x-server-rdp-592138/ but this doesn't compile on my  
system.

There is a directory called rdp in this distribution, however in  
current xorg-server 7.5 sources this one is not present anymore. I  
have found a note in the mailing lists regarding X11rdp  
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-October/039803.html  
and it seems dmx server is some kind of replacement? Can anyone  
confirm it can be used somehow with xrdp?

There is little to nothing written about X11-rdp so i fear it's  
already not developed anymore but maybe some skilled programmer could  
check the source code for the older version and adapt it to current  
release?
