xserver

X Server for EC2 machines

This directory contains code that runs an Xorg X server that does not do anything.

This is necessary when running on a remote server that does not have a display or X server.

Requirements

  • Xorg install -- 'sudo apt install xserver-xorg'
  • lspci -- Part of PCI tools, which determine what is in the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) buses. 'sudo apt install pciutils'

Usage

% cd xserver
% sudo python3 run_startx &

Sudo is necessary since the X server needs to be running as root. The & is so the X server continues to run.
