   * TheQVD project has an NX based remote desktop solution that uses nxproxy natively on Android (https://github.com/theqvd/theqvd/blob/master/nx/nxcomp-3.5.0-android.patch & https://github.com/theqvd/theqvd/tree/master/libqvdclient/android)   * TheQVD project has an NX based remote desktop solution that uses nxproxy natively on Android (https://github.com/theqvd/theqvd/blob/master/nx/nxcomp-3.5.0-android.patch & https://github.com/theqvd/theqvd/tree/master/libqvdclient/android)

-==== Upgrade GLX extension in NX (redistributed) ==== 
-  * With Ubuntu 12.10, Canonical has dropped Unity-2d support 
-  * Starting with Ubuntu 12.10, Unity requires a modern Xserver with GLX v8 included 
-  * The weakness of X2Go definitely is the NX Xserver used for display server session on the client 
-  * This coding project would be a start to gradually update the Xserver extensions shipped with NX 
-  * During this project you will get a deep insight into Xserver code. You need good C and Cplusplus skills to start this code project. You have to be a magician with C coding debugging tools!!!
