I'm not sure I can follow. I would be happy to listen for your proposal for my use case. I'll try to clarify my use case further. I'd like to attach of a persistent remote display session in screen/tmux-like manner. IIUC a 'persistent' disqualifies X11 forwarding over SSH, and it disqualifies usage of "remote" DISPLAY=$ip:$display too. Thus, IIUC, X11 server needs to run on remote OS as well, and because the VM does not have real graphical card, it does need a kind of fake X11 server. Xvfb or X11 native 'dummy'-driver based solution should work, the graphics itself can be later attached in screen/tmux-like manner via VNC for example. Solutions I'm aware: - X11 forwarding (not persistent) - X11 with remote DISPLAY (not persistent) - X11 'dummy' driver (not working in VMM VM) - Xvfb (works but seems slower/obsoleted by X11 native 'dummy' driver) Thank you for help.
