(I posted this question in the Remmina Reddit page - but since my account is in "Pending" state for the past few days, I figured on mentioning this issue here.)

I am using a Debian 12 laptop, remotely connecting via Tailscale to the Rocky 9 desktop system. While I am able to remotely access, once I am physically in front of my desktop, I see only a black screen, and responsive mouse pointer. From there, I have no ability to open the login screen - this only gets resolved by me rebooting the desktop. I can still access the desktop by another RDP session at that point - I just can't recover visual while in front of the system.
Checking the issue online didn't seem to bring up anything that would fix the issue. I've also confirmed that I can remotely access from other sources (like my cellphone), with said other source using other RDP clients.
Has anyone experienced this issue - and, if so, what did you do to resolve it?

Is anyone able to see these posts?

Yes. I can see your post.

Other people can see your post. Nobody has answered for any one of a number of different reasons.

Me? I'd be patient.
