hi
Is it possible to use x2goagent to covert X11 to RDP? I want to use XP tsclient to view a remote X11 desktop , is there open source project like this?

Hey,
have a look at xrdp - http://xrdp.sourceforge.net This is, as far as I know, the one and only RDP server for Unix-like systems and works quite well on my Ubuntu 10.04 box here. If you are using Ubuntu as well, it is alreaddy in the repositories and the only thing you have to do is: sudo apt-get install xrdp
Hope that helps,
Jörg

Perhaps I misunderstand the question. If you wish to view a remote X11 Desktop from an XP station, why not just use X2Go?
Regarding conversion, our anecdotal analysis is that it seems faster to run the NX protocol to connect to a remote Linux desktop and then rdesktop to a local Windows computer rather than to run RDP directly across a WAN. I do not know if others share that same experience - John

John, We see the same thing. The only issue is that it's more complexity when using an intermediate host. It would be nice if we could find a way to do this more directly using NX so that there wasn't a need for the intermediate host.

You could run rdesktop through x2go as a seemless application. That way you wouldn't notice the intermediate host.

Hi Philipp, Yes, that's exactly how we have it set up. We're trying to streamline things as much as possible and if there is a way to remove the intermediate host it would make things a lot cleaner. I think as John pointed out that there would need to be an x2goserver running under Windows in order to do that.
Regards, Gerry
