Raspberry Pi Forums

I am using Raspbian with a 7" LCD screen connected to the RCA video port.
I develop VG by using a MobaXterm xsession on a Win7 machine.

When ever I execute the VG program on the ssh xsession, it always shows up
on the RCA video port of the Raspbian.

How do I get the VG to show up on the remote xsession that I am developing from?

Thanks - jz

Anything using hardware-acceleration is not drawn via X , but
directly via the GPU "on top" of X or the console.
Use dispmanx-VNC to view any output from your program
remotely.

jz - Sorry, I do not understand what you are saying. Would you please elaberate?

jz - When I Google "dispmanx-VNC" no relevant information is found.
What is it and why do I need it for this problem?
Shouldn't ssh xsession be able to show a graphics program running?

The hardware-acceleration on the Pi is completely independent
of X.

dispmanx_vnc is here :

Thanks,

It took an evening of thinking about your reply before I realized what was being said.
I understand the issues now

It stumped me for a little while because I was thinking that because I was using a
graphical interface the result should stay within the graphics system - then it hit me
that the hardware acceleration is probably doing DMA to the video memory and X
does not even know it exists.

Thanks for the help
