[X2Go-User] Problems using HTML5 kvm console

Hello everyone,

we use x2go in our company and it works really well.

However, currently we have noticed two problems that occur in connection
with an HTML5 KVM (remote console) client.
Maybe one of you has an idea about these issues.

1st question
When using the keyboard within the KVM console, we noticed that the
arrow down key is incorrectly assigned and triggers an Enter.
With the help of a keycode event tool I found that the NumpadEnter is
transmitted there, see screenshot in the appendix.
It seems that the wrong physical key (key code) is transmitted via
x2go/nx. This has nothing directly to do with the keyboard layout used
and therefore unfortunately cannot be changed within the virtual console.
Is this error known? Is there a fix for it?

2nd question
OpenGL/GLX is required for the KVM console. Unfortunately, only GLX1.2
is in use among the current nx-libs, which is why this does not work in
Firefox. I have found only VirtualGL as workaround. Do you know other
methods to make such applications running?

Best regards
Simon
