Linux/Unix (X) as an RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) Server? | Carl’s blog

X11rdp is the name of the special RDP Xserver that is another part of the project, which skips out vnc altogether.

What xrdp with the VNC back-end is doing, is forwarding the VNC screen draws to your rdp client. The X11rdp back-end is an X server in its own right, and the screen updates will be that bit smoother and faster - and probably use less bandwidth than with the VNC back-end.

SourceForge.net: xrdp:

I think you’re confusing two different things here.

X11rdp is a back end X server in its own right – think of it as something which paints the graphics onto a virtual screen which is in memory and is not sent directly to your graphics card.

xrdp, on the other hand, can be thought of as the bridge between that back end X server (X11rdp) and your physical display. When you use your RDP client (rdesktop on linux for example, or Remote Desktop client on Windows) , those clients talk to xrdp via the Remote Desktop Protocol (hence RDP). xrdp then communicates with the back end X11rdp X server, which sends its virtual graphics display to your RDP client, via the xrdp bridge.

The reason the back end X11rdp X server is not conveniently packaged up in a nice .deb, is because at the moment, it has been written in a way that makes it virtually impossible to do so. It’s currently written and attached limpet-like to an older version of the Xorg tree, and it’s a lot of work re-writing it to extricate it from that old tree and in such a way that it’s an independent module which can be easilly linked to the current Xorg tree.

That’s my current understanding of it anyway, and that’s why I try to write easy to follow tutorials on how to get X11rdp up and running as the back-end.

Notice if you install xrdp from the package manager, it also installs vnc? VNC is doing the job as the back end virtual display renderer, the output of which gets sent to your RDP client at the other end of the connection, via xrdp, as described above. The distros use VNC precisely because X11rdp is currently such a pain/practically impossible to package at the moment. But VNC is less efficient to use than the X11rdp X server because of the way it “draws” its display – that’s why I try to encourage use of X11rdp and write tutorials on it.

Also, the reason why I compile xrdp as well, is becuase to date, the distros are still using a slightly outdated version of xrdp which won’t talk to the latest versions of Remote Desktop Client for Windows – if and when a more up to date xrdp is included as a package, that step will become unnecessary.

Did you use the RDPsesman utility? That sets up your .xsession file for you ;)

Hopefully one of these days all my articles, tutorials and scripts related to X11rdp will become obsolete, whenever X11rdp finally becomes an independent module in its own right.

Hope that answers your questions :)

x11rdp is working like crazy! But, needs to be compiled.

There is also a global autostart file at /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart. If both files are present, all entries in both files will be executed. This file is not a shell script, but each line represents a command to be executed, if a line begins with a @ symbol, the command following the @ will be automatically re-executed if it crashes.
