Linux and Windows Remote Desktop

How to

A nice and convenient variant to use RDP from a Linux box to a windowos system is xfreerdp.

The following switches are used to enable multimonitor usage as well as microphone and sound. Monitor 0 and 1 is used in full screen mode on the linux box. Run xfreerdp from your favorite terminal:

xfreerdp /monitors:0,1 /multimon /sound /microphone /kbd:0x00000807 /u:<user name> /v:<ip address or domain name of the server>

add /usb to route an USB Device to the remote session

 /usb:auto,dev:046d:c626#0b95:1790

To quit the rdp session press the right <ctrl> key and switch to then in the terminal and press <ctrl>+c.
