Re: [X2Go-User] Chrome speed with x2go

[Oleksandr Shneyder]

Hello Keith,

you should try KDrive option. Chrome should work way faster with it.
Especially on the fast networks. Also GL Applications and desktops like
modern Gnome and KDE are fully supported. Another advantage - KDrive
client will work without X Server on the client side on non-Linux platforms.
However, currently there is no KDrive client build for OSX, so first you
should try it with Linux client. If it'll work for you, you can try to
build X2Go KDrive Client for OS X. Alternatively, if your company has
enough resources, you could also sponsor the developing of X2Go KDrive
client for OSX, because at the moment OSX support is not on my priority
list.

regards,
Alex

Well, the problem is Chrome not using the Xlib API but rendering stuff
itself and pushing images over the line. Have you tested this?:
https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:glx-xlib-workaround
(use this description to build the latest version with llvm, which is
the fastest sw-rendering solution:

Regarding the compression stuff: I have written an overview about the
compression options here:
