Okay so I spent all day messing around with remmina, which would NOT play ball.
so instead I tried porting the underlying layer. xfreerdp
I DID actually get this to run. but - and there is a BIG but...
[root@kindle bin]#
./xfreerdp -g 600x800 --sec rdp -T L:A_N:application_id:twobob.rdp -a 16 919.999.911.111
connected to 919.999.911.111:3389

Which means (IIRC) that I need the colormap specifying...
but I can't find anywhere to stick it.
Code:
Usage: ./xfreerdp [options] server:port
-0: connect to console session
-a: set color depth in bit, default is 16
-c: initial working directory
-D: hide window decorations
-T: window title
-d: domain
-f: fullscreen mode
-g: set geometry, using format WxH or X% or 'workarea', default is 1024x768
-h: print this help
-k: set keyboard layout ID
-K: do not interfere with window manager bindings
-m: don't send mouse motion events
-n: hostname
-o: console audio
-p: password
-s: set startup-shell
-t: alternative port number, default is 3389
-u: username
-x: performance flags (m[odem], b[roadband] or l[an])
-X: embed into another window with a given XID.
-z: enable compression
--app: RemoteApp connection. This implies -g workarea
--ext: load an extension

--no-fastpath: disable fast-path
--gdi: graphics rendering (hw, sw)

--ignore-certificate: ignore verification of logon certificate
--sec: force protocol security (rdp, tls or nla)
--secure-checksum: use salted checksums with Standard RDP encryption
--version: print version information
and short of hacking it in myself on a code level like:
http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boa...=1#post1166462 I'm running out of ideas...
(REF:
http://cwikla.com/X/articles/txa/visual.html)
Just to actually CHECK that I wasn't going mad - I threw it at Xephyr and it did indeed connect to a windows2012? server.
No windows 8 to test it on... but yeah...
So. The choices are these:
I bundle it with Xephyr and look to bundle in blackbox (to handle the color horror) and run it in that. nope - that wont work. tried it.
I DID run it in Xepyhr WITHOUT the colormapping fixed (Screenie attached)
with pretty horrible results (visually)
Some other whizz bang solution that some kind soul will offer up
Any ideas anyone?
bit tired of this now.
