Hi,

I have been trying to get X2Go to a usable state for a long time. Some may remember that I posted about slow performance even with Gigabit networking, mostly web browser usage was problematic.

After having spent very much time trying to optimise X2Go to make it perform acceptably, I gave up.

I then found and tried XRDP, and all my problems are solved. Although XRDP (with xorgxrdp drivers) uses more bandwith than X2Go, it is much more usable in almost all situations. Even ADSL links work ok, but with Gigabit connectivity it really flies (including video).

I don't like to advertise for other "products", but this has made such a difference that I could not withhold this information from those who are not satisfied with X2Go.

Maybe as a means of making X2Go better, I would encourage X2Go developers to install XRDP on a test server and test and compare its performance to X2Go. I would be surprised if X2Go would perform better - in fact I was surprised how much better XRDP was. Maybe there are things that can be done in X2Go to make it better by looking at how XRDP does things.

I really wanted X2Go to work, but somehow it didn't work for me.

I wish you all the best for improving the project in the future!

Stefan
