Xrdp is based on an X Window System server. Development began with the Xvnc server . With X11rdp, a separate server for the X Window System is now part of xrdp; In addition, a module called xorgxrdp is available from version 0.9.1, which allows direct access by Xrdp to normal X servers using a virtual monitor, mouse and keyboard driver.
