Hi,

now that freerdp-3.x becomes stable for amd64 I need to issue this bug report.

I have two issues with freerdp-3.x:

(1) I am getting graphical artifacts. They look as if parts of the remote screen had been cut out and then slightly moved, or surrounded by thin lines.

(2) Anything I type becomes entirely random key events remotely.

So, unfortunatelly no way to use freerdp-3.x. I need to downgrade to 2.x.

Some more information:

- I am using wayland, no X.
- I am having this issue with *any* freerdp-3.x version in portage since.
- I am having *no* issue with freerdp-2.x
- I am starting from the console: wlfreerdp -v:REMOTE_HOST -u:Administrator
- I tested rdp against Windows 11 Professional and Windows Server 2016
- Despite my default is +lto, freerdp is excluded from lto via packages.env
- BTW: There is freerdp-3.5.x in portage but this segfaults right away

Any advice?

The Wayland client is deprecated upstream. Please try the SDL client instead.

Please report bugs before things become stable!

This creates problems downstream of freerdp, stable kde-apps/krdc expects wlfreerdp and no configuration is provided to switch it to sdlfreerdp. And I am not sure the ~amd64 version will do either.

Take it up with the Kroc project. There is nothing I can do about it.
