Description Robert Yang 2015-12-04 02:33:49 UTC

make it can work without X, for example, a few people work via ssh, and "ssh -X" is very slow, maybe we can use vnc when X is not available for testimage.

Hi Ross and RP,


I'd like to work on 8762 and 8763 if you and the testimage maintainer are fine with the change.

Oh I did this a few days ago and didn't even notice this bug.

oe-core b1d85f13e79f8a493b9849551357a1a5cf0d0fec changes qemurunner to pass nographic if DISPLAY isn't set.

oe-core 259d1d1889b9349498d3f995a09466ce89bd3fcf removes the sanity check for DISPLAY at startup.
