Launch XSDL in the secondary display #60

Open rastersoft opened 8 years ago

rastersoft commented 8 years ago

Hi:

I have a Nexus 4 phone and I have it rooted, and also installed a Debian inside. I tried to use XSDL with it and works fine. But I had the idea of using XSDL to do something similar to MaruOS ( http://maruos.com ). To do it, I need to launch XSDL only when there is a second display connected, and show it only in that second display.

Is it possible? How?

Thanks.

Looks like that's not quite possible - you can cast video to a secondary screen, but still all your input/mouse/keyboard etc is bound to the primary screen, where the app should show some kind of interface window to process all that input. Various companies are of course hacking together Android ROMs that can do multi-display and multi-window setups, but that is still not supported by AOSP.
