How to use existing display / set display number?

[plonknimbuzz]

Hi, there

i have this service:

#/etc/systemd/system/xvfb.service

[Unit]
Description=X virtual framebuffer

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root

ExecStart=/usr/bin/Xvfb :99 -ac

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

ps -ef|grep Xvfb
root     15802     1  0 Jul28 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/Xvfb :99 -ac

as u can see that i used :99 as display number but i failed to set it using this script

from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
import os
print(os.environ.get("DISPLAY"))
os.environ["DISPLAY"] = ":99"
print(os.environ.get("DISPLAY"))
with Display() as disp:
    # display is active
    print(disp.is_alive()) # True
    print(os.environ.get("DISPLAY"))
# display is stopped
print(disp.is_alive())

result

None
:99
True
:0 ==> failed
False

my question is: how to set display number? because i want to use display that created from outside of this library

or, if there is no available method for my case. at least, how can i find my previous display?

something like this

def run(action):
    disp = Display() #idk how to attach old display
    if(disp.is_alive):
        if(action=='start'):
            print('continue existing display')
            return disp
        else:
            disp.stop()
            print('stop existing display')
            return None
    else:
        if(action=='start'):
            print('create new display')
            return disp #return something that i can use 1 hour later
        else:
            print('display not found. Cannot stop the display')
            return None

What's the point? The whole idea behind this library is starting and managing an Xvfb process. If you already have one, there's nothing left for it to do?
