[mesa-users] Running PGSTAR on VPN connection alongside with screen command

[Evan Bauer]

Hi Hector,

The best workaround I’ve been able to find is to turn off all “_win_flag” controls and turn on the associated “_file_flag” controls. This at least avoids creating an X session during the run, so it won’t kill it when you disconnect and close the terminal. And it preserves the ability to have images you can look at to track things, just not quite in real time.

I would of course love to find a way to associate an X session with a tmux or screen session, but some googling a while ago suggested that it’s either impossible or very difficult for reasons I don’t remember. Hoping somebody will come along and prove me wrong!

Cheers,
Evan
