Cannot create sessions above 1920x1080 on xrdpdev driver for xorg

[NunoHiggs]

Hello all,

I am unable to create an rdp session over 1920x1080 using the xrdpdev driver on x.org.
I have a 4k display, working in 4k, and the biggest session i can launch on rdp with any client, remmina, freerdp,etc, is a 1920x1080 session.

Via console, to the server, i can raise a 4k session with no issue, so it appears the issue is related to the rdp driver.
I have added for testing purposes, another monitor/screen configuration to /etc/X11/xrdp/xorg.conf - the 2560x1440 one - and the problem remains:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Monitor"
    Option "DPMS"

    EndSubSection
EndSection

For this specific event when i boot the connection it tries to throttle up to 2560x1440, but as soon as it passes the sddm login, it throttles down to 1920x1080:

What am i missing here? All my rdp client configurations run well for windows boxes, at the highest resolution my rdp client can handle.

That suggests your desktop is hard-wiring the connection size.

Set up a different account for testing and see if that behaves the same way.

@matt335672 thanks for your reply. I just tested with a different account, and yes, the display size is the same, so it appears some hard-wiring is being done.

Where can i find where this hard-wire is occurring? Any idea? I also double checked with spice and i can grow the definition up to 4K.

[matt335672]

Do you mean the two accounts behave the same way?

Also, how are you resizing the desktop?
