In the associated issue ( https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/137) someone pointed out a bug in the offscreen bitmap cache capabilities, I fixed it. I added a --composition option to turn on the desktop composition performance flag as proposed here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-AU/os_windowsprotocols/thread/7774cec2-a86b-4a5f-89f3-f88bccb5d32c however, it is unclear what exactly means "turn on composition over remotefx" versus "turn on composition without remotefx". Turning desktop composition on will cause the performance flag to be set, but will also affect the flags in the associated desktop composition capability set. It is possible that for it to work we might need to set the performance flags but not the capability set, since one of them might be used only for the desktop composition extension. Thanks for your analysis. I have a few comments though, since there is some stuff which I could not relate to the code: TsFontCapabilitySet is marked as "not sent" for 1.0. The code seems to send it properly, so I'm confused. TsPointerCapabilitySet.colorPointerFlag is marked as "color (1)" for 0.9 and "monochrome (0)" for 1.0. However, the code does use a value of 1 for this flag. Again, confused as to why you've observed a value of 0. TsBitmapCapabilitySet.DrawingFlags.Unused1 is undocumented. I have no idea why it was set to 1 in 0.9. We could try setting it to 1 just to be closer to 0.9 and see what it does. Other flags in that field deal with alpha transparency and image compression. TsSurfaceCommandCapabilitySet.CmdFlags.SetSurfaceBits is off in 0.9 but on in 1.0. Maybe we could experiment with turning it off.
