Yes, normal performance is very good. But when it comes to 3d graphics or video it is not. Both are not the main use cases for x2go. > I've tried an other video output driver, that plays video on the client, but > is extremely limited compared to XVideo. I am not really sure what you mean by that. Playing video on the client means playing it locally using the capabilities of the local graphics hardware. Inside an x2go session you do not have hardware that could do some of the work so you have to do it in software, which would be much slower. As far as I understand X-Video the only purpose is to use hardware acceleration. We _could_ pass on X-Video requests to the X-Video extension on the client side. But I doubt that would bring significant improvements because the data would still have to travel the wire back and forth. There's a technology called "Telekinesis" you might want to try. I basically passes on the video stream to the clients and lets it do the rendering. I have never done that myself so I cannot provide instructions.
