Re: [X2Go-User] X2 Go Client Android Project?

  I have an LG G 8.3 Android Tablet, I currently use RDP protocol to access

graphical sessions on my servers when I access from the tablet because of lack of availability.

  The RDP client is functional but slow and no sound.  Some click targets

are very small but I can use them successfully using the stylus that came with the pad.

  An X2Go Client would be nice but I've got too many things on my stack

and don't really know Python so attempting a hack not too plausible for me at this time.

I have an RDP client on my Android tablet and remote desktop server on Linux machines, and with that I am able to see an X-display remotely, and I can use the on-screen keyboard with it. Taping on a field focuses input to that field as if I had moved the mouse there and double clicked.

I also have a VNC client like this but it is difficult with it to tap 

on an input field and then you have to do something seperate to bring the keyboard up but once you get it up you can type into a field.

I have an X-server for android but haven't played with it much.

The underlying lib nxcomp (nxproxy mainly) builds on Android meanwhile and if there is an Xserver, you should in theory be able to run NXv3 based sessions.

However, noone ever bothered coming up with a port of X2Go Client to Android for the usability reasons given by Stefan. But in theory, people could start hacking on it and then we will be happy to give advice here and there.
