Issue/Bug Description: When connected to the system using RDP (from the Windows 10 native RDP client), the screen goes black when running games in fullscreen mode. There are no issues in windowed mode. The input seems to be working, as the mouse cursor moves across the screen (even if with some lag) and can even click onto items effectively. But the screen is completely black. Everything is running fine on the main machine, with no issues at all.

There are no issues at all with other fullscreen applications, such as Youtube in a browser or other applications that allow the fullscreen mode with F11 (e.g. Terminal in the first screenshot).

Steps to reproduce (if you know): Install Steam via APT (native package, no Flatpak), install a game and run it in fullscreen mode. Connect to the system via RDP to play the game from another machine.

black RDP

Expected behavior: The game should be displayed just fine even via RDP connection.

Other Notes: The issue does not seem to occur on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Wayland session), altough RDP in Ubuntu is extremely slow and laggy. The issue does not occur at all on Fedora 36 (GNOME Wayland session).

Hello, not really related to your problem, but wanted to know how you are getting sound through rdp in 22.04?

Hi,

Sadly I just don't, I found a guide for Ubuntu for Hyper-V, that was building pulseaudio explicitly for this purpose, but I never succeeded in it...

The new release of GNOME should make things easy...
