XRDP (link) is an Open Source RDP server for Linux. The installation on Fedora 17 is pretty straightforward:
- yum install xrdp
To run it manually, use
- xrdp
- xrdp-sesman
However, it is probably a better idea to add it as a service so that it runs on boot:
Set the RDP client to use 24-bit color and it will happily connect from Windows to your Linux server!
To set a custom resolution after you connect, go to System Settings -> Display and set any desktop resolution you like.
I also tend to use Dvorak keyboard layout. Simply changing the keyboard layout to English(Dvorak) won't work unless it is also set with "setxkbmap dvorak".
systemctl enable xrdp.serviceYou can confirm that the service has been created by running 'Services' from the Applications menu.
