  ==== Explanation ====
  X2Go's "X Server" is called "nxagent". It is part of the nx-libs package.
  
- As of version 3.5.0.x, nxagent is forked from the X.org 6.9 codebase (from 2005.) Therefore, there are 4 reasons why certain modern "3d-ish" desktops are incompatible with nxagent, and therefore X2Go.
+ As of version 3.5.0.x, nxagent is forked from the X.org 6.9 codebase (from 2005) feature-wise (but not security-wise, where it is at much newer level). Therefore, there are multiple reasons why
certain modern "3d-ish" desktops are incompatible with nxagent, and therefore X2Go.
  
    * The desktop environment requires the X11 extension "Xcomposite", which nxagent 3.5.0.x and X.org 6.9 do not support.
    * The desktop environment requires a newer version of the X11 extension "GLX" (OpenGL) than nxagent 3.5.0.x and X.org 6.9 provide (version 1.2).
-   * The desktop environment requires a newer version of the X11 extension "XRANDR" than nxagent 3.5.0.x provides (version 1.2).
+   *<del> The desktop environment requires a newer version of the X11 extension "XRANDR" than nxagent 3.5.0.x provides (version 1.2).</del>nxagent offers "XRANDR" 1.5 now, so this no longer a problem.
    * The desktop environment checks for a specific physical graphics driver, but nxagent doesn't use physical graphics adapters/drivers.
  
  Ultimately, addressing issues #1 and #2 requires a lot of work. Solutions are discussed [[wiki:development:new-feature-brainstorming#nx-libs|here.]]
