App shows on external screen instead of XDMCP

Mon May 02, 2016 1:55 am

Hello

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 configured with the official 7" touch display. During GUI development I would like to operate through XDMCP using MobaXterm while having the external display still operating. My issue is that when I load an application through XDMCP it loads on the external display instead. Is there a way to force an application to load in a particular instance of X?

Regards,
m

You select X-server with DISPLAY environment variable or "-display" option.

Code: Select all

xeyes -display :0
xeyes -display :1
export DISPLAY=:1
xeyes

Return to “Official Foundation Display”
