Hi,

Thanks for your answer, it's probably a problem with my cubietruck,
which lacks sometimes with video. Though I don't have problems with
local videos.
I just installed x3goserver/x2goclient (both at 4.0.1.??) from their
respective repositories and conenction worked from beginning (afte
using mate).

It's just weird that I get an error message on one program and laggy
video on the other.
Which desktop (gnome/kde/mate inkluding version if not too
time-consuming for you) do you have and which player do you use? Which
Os on server and client?
Perhaps I can see parallels and identify the bottleneck.

Thanks,
Harald
