Description

This issue was moved from GUAC-721, an issue in the JIRA instance used by the Guacamole project prior to its acceptance into the Apache Incubator.

Comments, attachments, related issues, and history from prior to acceptance have not been copied and can be found instead at the original issue.

As discussed on the mailing lists, Guacamole currently lacks support for RemoteFX, although the library leveraged for low-level RDP support (FreeRDP) does have this support. RemoteFX is important when it comes to forwarding accelerated graphics over RDP, and the same support should be added to Guacamole.

Lacking API documentation for FreeRDP, this will naturally involve walking through the source of FreeRDP's own client implementation to determine what needs to be called and how.
