Here is a small update,

there has been suspicion that the keyboard problem is related to NVidia drivers.
However, I am now running the x2goserver on a newly installed system without any
NVidia parts -- namely it has AMD cards with Tahiti processors now + Ivy Bridge
processor graphics. The Mac x2go-client keyboard is still messed up (i.e.
unusable), independent of whether X is configured to use the processor graphics
or the AMD devices.

So I guess the theory that this has to do with NVidia drivers cannot be upheld.

Note that I'm not using the latest MacOS version yet -- the client-side Mac rund
MacOS 10.6.8 atm.

Best Regards,
Ruediger
