Xfreerdp Ignores Resolution Parameter
I Cannot Connect to a Server with a Custom Screen Resolution Set If I Use Command Xfreerdp Servername -G 1280X1024 It Connects but the Resolution Is 1024X768...
I cannot connect to a server with a custom screen resolution set If I use command xfreerdp servername -g 1280x1024 it connects but the resolution is 1024x768. Xfreerdp just carelessly ignores the -g parameter. Any ideas how to fix it or some suggestions for alternative RDP client? It is freerdp-x11 1.0.1-1ubuntu7 amd64 RDP client for Windows Terminal Services
and I use Ubuntu 12.10 64bit. Thanks

I had got the same problem for a long time with xfreerdp in Debian 7. It's a bug because I finally found the reason which concerns the positional parameters on the command line!
-g option is always ignored when after -d option!
Here's my test :
-g option fails when after -d option
-g option succeeds when after -x -a or -u option
Hope this will help...
EDIT : -t option and -p option fail after -d option
So the rule is : option -d must be the last on the command line!
In the recent version that I have (version 2.0.0-rc4), one should use /size:WxH option:
/size:... Screen size
The -g and -geometry options are used for other purposes:
/g:<gateway>[:<port>] Gateway Hostname
/geometry Geometry tracking channel
