xRDP to a Linux VM
Last Updated 23 days ago

xRDP server is used when connecting to a Linux machine. Video does not scale well using the Windows RDP protocol. Also, printer redirection breaks the clipboard sharing. So, please use the settings below.  


These are the settings I changed which increased the speed and responsiveness for me:

1. Open Remote Desktop in Windows

2. Go to Display

1. Display Configuration: 1280 x 1024

2. Colors: High Color (15 bit)

RDP Display Settings

3. Go to Local Resources

a. Uncheck Printers

Local Resources
b. Click More in the above and Uncheck Everything
Local Resources > More

">

4. In Experience > Choose Connection Speed: Modem 56 kbps
