Hello,
Is X2goclient working on Mac OSX? I read some messages that there are keyboard problems. Not sure they are gone.
Here is such a message, with a link to another message: http://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-user-0fE9KPoRgkgATYTw5x5z8w <at>

When the problem is fixed, is this also the case for the Lenny version of X2go? (I have a customer with Macs who does not want to upgrade because the office will be closed in a few months.)
With regards, Paul van der Vlis.
Hi there,
I have just tried it again with the newest versions for both MacOS X (client) and Ubuntu 12.04 (server), and the behaviour of the keyboard is still random (i.e. unusable). However, I understand that this is not the same for all Mac Users, and I believe the exact combination of factors that cause x2go to misbehave is still unknown. It has been mentioned in the past that it might be related to the usage of NVidia drivers on the server side, and indeed I'm using these.
Best Regards, Ruediger
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
