FreeRDP: wlfreerdp /monitor-list not working

Describe the bug When I type wlfreerdp /monitor-list it doesn’t show any of my monitors number, or when I use wlfreerdp /monitors:1 it doesn’t use the right monitor.

To Reproduce

  1. Install Debian Buster (GNOME interface)
  2. Log into your session using wayland
  3. Install freerdp with apt install freerdp2-wayland
  4. Run this command wlfreerdp /monitor-list

Expected behavior I expected this:

cezar@tec-seguranca:~$ wlfreerdp /monitor-list [0] 1920x1080 +0+0 [1] 1366x768 +1920+312

** Application details

  • Version of FreeRDP This is FreeRDP version 2.0.0-dev5 (2693389a+debian)
  • Command line used wlfreerdp /monitor-list
  • output of /buildconfig

buildconfig.txt

  • OS version connecting to Windows server 2012
  • If available the log output from a run with /log-level:trace I tried with wlfreerdp /monitor-list /log-level:trace and it doesn’t show anything, am I doing this right? Desktop (please complete the following information):
  • OS: Debian Buster
  • Browser: Epiphany
  • Version: 3.32.1.2

Additional context

I have a linux computer in my work with two monitors and a Windows server which I have to connect using RDP protocol. One screen is big and another is very small, I always use the small one to connect to the server while I use the bigger one for my local operations. When I use Xorg server and xfreerdp to connect, I have this alias configured for my connection: alias xfreerdp='xfreerdp /kbd:0x00000416 /monitors:1 /f' so wherever I type the command it will always use the smallest monitor. I would like to do the same in wayland. Thanks for your awesome work with freerdp.

If you need more information, I’m at work from Mondays to Fridays.

@Nolij No, in the meantime just use the X version. That’s what I did.

That is unfortunately incredibly buggy on Wayland. Guess I’ll see if I can convince my employer to let me set up a VNC server or something.

@cizordj you can leave it open, we accept pull requests fixing/adding such stuff.

I am using the wlfreerdp since it was introduced. Now over a time it works quite stable for me for a daily usage. Having multiple monitor support on wayland would be really cool feature which I am currently missing 😃
