X11RDP-RH-Matic
What is this?
X11RDP-RH-Matic helps to build and install latest snapshot of xrdp, x11rdp, xorgxrdp (xorg-driver) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux or its clones.
This utility is inspired by X11RDP-o-Matic. In other words, Red Hat version of X11RDP-o-Matic.
What this is not?
- xrdp itself
- for all Red Hat "based" Linux
X11RDP-RH-Matic only supports RHEL or its clones. If you can use yum(or dnf)/rpm in your distribution, your distribution is not necessarily supprted.
Usage
$ git clone https://github.com/metalefty/X11RDP-RH-Matic.git
$ cd X11RDP-RH-Matic
$ ./X11RDP-RH-Matic.sh
Use develop branch to try development snapshot.

TODOs
- Build PulseAudio module
Building xorgxrdp (formerly known as xorg-driver)
X11RDP-RH-Matic can build xorgxrdp (aka xorg-driver). Run with --with-xorg-driver
option. When you want to build xorgxrdp, probably you don't need X11rdp then also
add --nox11rdp option.
$ ./X11RDP-RH-Matic.sh --with-xorg-driver --nox11rdp
Now RH-Matic installs non-suid version of Xorg to /usr/bin/Xorg.xrdp.
You don't need to edit /etc/pam.d/xserver introduced in
CentOS forum.
