It's not an rpi. You could ssh -X into it and display on your local X server or run a remote desktop like vnc.

Hello,

You know when your Linux box does not have a video out socket....

does this mean the SOC chip inside does not have a video core?

if so...


is it true to say that a tool like VNC simply goes down a network
cable into your box and kind of arrives at the pathway ending
of where a SOC would normally have had a gateway into it's video
core. That gateway is closed because the SOC chip does not have
a video core. So VNC-X simply opens that gate and says " hi, i am a video
core for you....please walk this way". In other words, VNC is a software
video core type thing?....

or....

 VNC somehow uses the signals from the
Linux box and the video core of it's host machine to reproduce the
Graphical desktop of the headless Linux box somehow?

thanks  VInce

gerald_clark:
The vnc client running on your machine talks to the vnc server on the headless machine.
The vnc server accesses the video frame buffer on the server and sends changes to the vnc client that displays it on your machine.
The frame buffer has no hardware displaying it. It just holds the graphical image that the missing hardware would have displayed.

cast-fish:
right thanks.

clever things really. right

with regard to vnc and the comments above.

Must you install "X server" and a window manager into the hedless server for the client VNC
to give you a full gui desktop (via remote desktop) of the server OS?

Say you begin to run a gui styled app on the server, such as "abiword" and want the app
 displayed on the client Vnc "remore desktop"....

Thanks

Vin
