Freerdp: Zoom-in/scale-up when remoting from HiDPI

Created on 7 Dec 2018  路  5Comments  路  Source: FreeRDP/FreeRDP

My machine that I sit at and remote from has a 3840x2160 display.

I'd like to RDP to a windows host using a window that is 1280x900 but have that window up-scaled so that each pixel uses 4 pixels on my HiDPI display.

Put another way, if I run my display at 1920x1080 and connect to the windows host at 1280x900, everything is fine. I want to run my display at 3830x2160 and have that windows host window take up the same number of inches of screen.

I suspect that such a capability already exists, but I haven't found the magic combination of options yet.

I have tried /scale:200, scale-desktop:200 but these don't seem to do anything.

Any help with what I'm missing much appreciated!

@volth use the scale switch if you want to have retina resolution
/scale:180 /scale-desktop:200 is my current flags and it works fine w/o smart-sizing

/smart-scaling /size:1280x900
Please use IRC or the mailing list for support.

FWIW to anyone else trying to get xfreerdp working on high DPI, the suggested solution here doesn't work. Nor do any of the other suggested solutions on other issues. The screen remains tiny.

I tried out Remmina and it works out of the box.

This works for me:
/w:1280 /h:920 /smart-sizing

note not smart-scaling but smart-sizing

Hi, is this fix in the nightly binaries?

Thanks!
