View Android Chroot On PC

I have Arch Linux installed on my Galaxy Note 3 via chroot. There is an option in the app to use either VNC or a native X server to interface with it, both work great on the phone itself, but just for the hell of it I want to get the X server running on my PC (which also runs Arch) to see if it performs any better. The problem is, I can't figure out how to go about it or even what terms to use to google info about it.

How can I start a secondary X server on tty8 that waits for a connection from my Note 3?

Re: View Android Chroot On PC

You cannot get the chroot xserver running on your pc. You can connect to the running one on your android device.

To connect to the chroot x session you can use xhost or remote x11 over ssh. Or you can just use VNC.

Also the performance will actually be worse, since all the processing is done on the android device and then sent over the network.

If you want to get better performance out of you arch chroot on your android device you will need to native boot it...Shameless plug https://github.com/crondog/arch-flo (you will need to make appropriate changes to get it running on a samsung device)
