Based on the work of rdesktop, xrdp uses the remote desktop protocol to
present a GUI to the user.
The goal of this project is to provide a fully functional Linux terminal
server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop and Microsoft's own
terminal server / remote desktop clients.
Unlike Windows NT/2000/2003 server, xrdp will not display a Windows desktop
but an X window desktop to the user.
Xrdp uses Xvnc or X11rdp to manage the X session.
===> The following configuration options are available for xrdp-0.10.6.1_3,1:
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
FUSE=off: Enable drive redirection via FUSE (experimental)
IPV6=on: IPv6 protocol support
====> Options available for the group AUDIO_CODEC
FDKAAC=on: Enable Fraunhofer FDK AAC for audio redirection
MP3LAME=off: Enable MP3 Lame for audio redirection
OPUS=on: Enable Opus for audio redirection
====> Options available for the group VIDEO_CODEC
OPENH264=on: H.264 video codec support via OpenH264
X264=on: H.264 video codec support via x264
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Reason:
xrdp supports H.264 encoding in graphics remoting since v0.10.2.
It reduces the amount of data transmitted over the network and provides
a much smoother and more responsive experience compared to previous
versions. When updating from older v0.10.x versions to v0.10.2, make
sure to merge the new xrdp.ini with the old one because xrdp.ini has
some new configuration parameters for H.264. See 20240704 if updating
from v0.9.x.
Furthermore, xrdp v0.10.2 supports running the xrdp daemon as an
unprivileged user. See the xrdp.ini(5) man page for configuring xrdp to
run as an unprivileged user. You can also check if xrdp is properly
configured to run as an unprivileged user using the script located at:

Affects: users of net/xrdp and x11-drivers/xorgxrdp
Author: meta@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
xrdp has been updated to the releases of the latest stable branch v0.10.
This version significantly improves performance improvement especially if the
client is Windows 11. There are two things to be careful about when updating.
1) Make sure to update both net/xrdp and x11-drivers/xorgxrdp ports
simultaneously.
2) Config files require manual migration (follow the steps below).
Review and backup changes you made to xrdp.ini and sesman.ini before updating
xrdp. The following example only mentions xrdp.ini however make sure to do the
same review, backup and migration for sesman.ini as well.
Before updating xrdp, review and backup your changes.
# cd /usr/local/etc/xrdp
# diff -u xrdp.ini.sample xrdp.ini > xrdp.ini.diff
After updating xrdp, migrate your changes to new configuration files.
xrdp.ini.sample is replaced with new version at this point. See diff and
manually apply changes.
# cp xrdp.ini.sample xrdp.ini
# vi xrdp.ini

Affects: users of net/xrdp or net/xrdp-devel
Author: meta@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
After xorg upgrade to 21.1.4, xorgxrdp session doesn't start as before
This is because bin/Xorg has been replaced with X server binary wrapper.
You must manually edit the Xorg section in etc/xrdp/sesman.ini to get it
working again.
The following is a short example of where, how to modify sesman.ini.
Make sure to replace LOCALBASE with your actual path.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
- Add LDFLAGS to CONFIGURE_ENV and MAKE_ENV (as it was done with LDFLAGS)
- Fix all ports that add {CPP,LD}FLAGS to *_ENV to modify flags instead
