rdp-backend

[Jeff Sadowski]

I wanted to try out the Gnome Desktop on Wayland under Fedora 21

2 things I am missing out on is a x11vnc replacement and an xdotool replacement.

rdp-backend may be able to replace x11vnc?

I am trying to use the rdp-backend with my displayed desktop on my HDMI output.

Is this possible?

Could I set this up in my ~/.config/weston.ini
(Is this file used with all Desktops under Wayland Or do I use a
different file for Gnome on Wayland?)


~/.config/weston.ini looks like so
<--Beginning
[core]
backend=rdp-backend
<-- End

How do I set the username password?
Will it know to use the username/password for the logged in user(Preferable)?

Can I use Microsoft's mstsc to connect?
What about Microsoft's RDP client for Android?

Is this the right place to ask these kind of questions? If not can
someone please point me in the right direction?

Thank you for you precious time.
Good coding to you.

The RDP compositor is headless, so it doesn't care of real hardware,
it's not the equivalent of x11vnc.

I can't help on that part, sorry.

Right now no authentication mecanism are implemented, and most probably
you would want a greeter is no login / password are provided ? That's
why no authentication is implemented in the RDP backend.

Can I run two backends for the same Desktop or use rdp-backend as a
module? Maybe rdp-backend as a backend and use another backend/module
to display to my hdmi?
I only need an equivalent to x11vnc to the point of being able to
remotely see and control what is seen on screen I don't care if it
uses rdp protocol vs vnc that doesn't matter to me.

Just check "always ask for credential" in the advanced options.
