I have a mythfrontend box connected to a nice, big, LCD panel. My laptop has a screen that is mostly too small for me to complete meaningful work. I want to launch an app on my laptop and have it appear on the mythfrontend display.
I am trying to use VirtualGL to launch an application from my laptop, then have it run on the mythfrontend box.
I installed VirtualGL on the mythfrontend box and configured the VirtualGL server. My laptop has VirtualGL installed.
From my laptop:
Code:
vglconnect {user}@{server}
This is just an ssh connection and it works.
From my laptop:
Code:
vglconnect -x myaccount@mythfrontend.local glxgears
I get
Code:
vglclient is already running on this X display and accepting unencrypted connections on port 4242.
And glxgears is running on my laptop's screen.
What I want is to launch the application (ex. glxgears) from my laptop and have it appear on the mythfrontend screen. I think I'm not understanding how VirtualGL works in a very fundamental way.
