What It Does linux-display-extend combines: - xrandr to attach and position an extra display output - x11vnc to stream only that extended desktop region - an Android VNC client to render and interact with the new display It is designed for X11 sessions today. Wayland support is not implemented yet. Quick Start Install with the canonical repo-root installer: Then validate your machine and launch: On Android: 1. Install a VNC client such as RealVNC Viewer or MultiVNC. 2. Connect to the host and port printed by display-extend start . 3. If prompted, use the password stored in /.config/linux-display-extend/connection.secret . Why This Release Is Better - the runtime now respects configured resolution and position - the tool tracks its own PID, output, and clip geometry instead of killing unrelated x11vnc processes - config is parsed safely instead of being executed as shell - VNC defaults now use password authentication instead of open -nopw - the installer and package builder now have one canonical source of truth - the CLI is branded and includes diagnostics, logs, and password management commands Commands Core commands: - display-extend start - display-extend stop - display-extend restart - display-extend status - display-extend config Support commands: - display-extend doctor - display-extend install-deps - display-extend logs - display-extend set-password - display-extend install-","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/USKhokhar","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/USKhokhar/linux-display-extend/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
