Other than the system's local X.org server, nxagent does not require to be run as root. Nxagent and nxproxy are utilized by various remote application/desktop frameworks for providing server-side GUI application access from remote client systems.Ĭurrently, nxagent is co-maintained by three of these projects: The Arctica Project, TheQVD and X2Go. Sessions can be started from one client, suspended and then resumed from another (or the same) client. When used in proxy agent mode, nxagent adds the feature of being suspendible. The counterpart application on the other end (i.e. Nxagent can be used standalone as a nested X server (with NX protocol disabled), but its real benefits are gained when using it over remote connections via the nxcomp compression library. The NX protocol increases performance when using X applications over high latency and low bandwidth networks, while providing a local (LAN-like) usage experience even if connecting from off-site locations (via cable modem or GSM). Nxagent implements a very efficient compression of the X11 protocol, called the NX protocol.

Nxagent is an X server for remote application/desktop access similar to Xnest or Xephyr. Nested Xserver optimized for remote computing Synopsis
