raspi-config autologin not as user pi

By default when setting to enable straight to desktop, this script will make it pi;

# /usr/bin/raspi-config
update-rc.d lightdm enable 2
sed /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf -i -e "s/^#autologin-user=.*/autologin-user=pi/"

RDP with rdesktop and xfreerdp

$ rdesktop -g 1280x720 -u drew -r sound=local 192.168.1.10
sound is choppy, clipboard works
-f for full, ctrl+alt+enter to exit
keymap is broken, found doesn't work??
$ xfreerdp -u drew -g 1280x720 -x l --plugin rdpsnd --data alsa -- 192.168.1.10
-x experience, l is for lan
-z is compression

LXDE autostart synergyc

# mkdir ~/.config/autostart
# cat ~/.config/autostart/synergyc.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/synergyc 192.168.1.10

Sound

# amixer get PCM
# amixer set PCM 20%

^ one off to set lower noise http://man.he.net/man1/amixer

# alsamixer

^ tui to set PCM volume / sound card info

# amixer cset numid=3 1

^ 1 for headphones, 0 for hdmi

Video with omxplayer

# omxplayer -o local <filename>

^ head phones output

# omxplayer -o hdmi <filename>

^ hdmi output

# omxplayer -r <filename>

^ full screen, skewed though?

# setterm -blank force && omxplayer filename
# setterm -blank poke

^ command on console so only the video shows (and not console text scroll back), poke gets it back
