NOW you're bringing me back to freshman year :) I remember building a system from scratch and having no "less" or "more" tool, and the only way I could find a build error before it scrolled by was to turn on the "smooth scroll" button. >>> A good suggestion anyway. >>> However, if you provide instructions on how to reproduce the issue, I may >>> find >>> time to check out whether there is some improvement potential. My use case: 1) run windows 7 in a VM 2) use rdesktop (ubuntu xenial, rdesktop Version 1.8.3) to connect to the windows box's desktop (used to run visual studio, etc.) 3) launch mintty, maximize the window 4) run a build that spits out a lot of logging. This can be simulated with "od /dev/urandom". On my machine, it will lock up the desktop for a while, until I can switch desktops, ssh into the windows box, and kill the offending process. This is certainly multiple bugs, since X11 shouldn't lock up in any case. However, I can play fullscreen video over rdesktop without an issue, so I'm not sure why the console is so graphically intensive. > More recent RDP sessions should fix this.

A local build of xfreerdp 2.0 will work fine, BUT that version removes a few features I use [insert oblig XKCD here].
