Xfreerdp Upgrade to version 1.1 to support Multi Monitor
I was trying to use freerdp with support for multiple monitor using ubuntu 13.10 x64 and I get error :
root@rdp-client:~# xfreerdp /multimon /f /u:a /p:1 /v:192.168.0.140:3389
transport_connect: getaddrinfo (Name or service not known)
Error:protocol security negotition failure
my version of freerdp 1.0.2
How can I upgrade to xfreerdp version 1.1 to support this syntax of command and multi monitor?
upgrade multiple-monitors

Another solution is installing from source files : take a look at https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/wiki/Compilation
But as it mentioned by Adrian check the server support for multimonitor before it :D

FreeRDP has been above version 1.1 since Vivid - so the easiest way to get a compatible version is now to just install a recent version of Ubuntu. That said, Windows still imposes restrictions on which editions support multi monitor on the server.
There are no versions of Windows that support multimon on a Home edition server (the computer you're connecting to).
Windows 7 only supports it on Ultimate and Enterprise editions and not Pro.
Windows 8 and 10 support it on Pro and Enterprise editions (and there is no Ultimate edition).
Old answer preserved below.
The easiest means of getting a version of FreeRDP that supports multimon seems to be via this PPA :
https://launchpad.net/~9v-shaun-42/+archive/freerdp
(the usual warnings about using a PPA for software apply).
That said... I tried this and still no joy. Why?
I'm running Windows 7 Professional on the server machine I want to use. Which doesn't support multimon as a server, just as a client. So FreeRDP enters span mode anyway, which is not what I need because my monitors have different vertical resolutions.
This is by design, apparently. Multimon RDP service is only supported by Windows 7 Ultimate or Enterprise, even if the RDP client on other editions supports using it. [1]
I can't imagine the number of hours of productivity that have been lost by people trying to get this to work and finally discovering it's not supported on their edition of Windows.....

It should be redundant now - freerdp has been version 1.1 since Vivid, so the latest LTS release of Ubuntu has a freerdp package compatible with -multimon ; that said, limitations still apply to which versions of Windows support multimon on the server ; Window 7 ; Ultimate and Enterprise ; Windows 8 and 10 - Pro and Enterprise. ie - "Home" edition does not support multimon as a server for ANY version of Windows.
