[ale] how do I run, and control, X11 server on android tablet?

[Sam Rakowski]

You would use export DISPLAY=192.168.50.5:0 in a terminal before executing whatever is your program with a gui. You can then run export DISPLAY=:0 to return it to normal. (Program windows going to your Ubuntu display)

Hi all,

I've been trying to figure out how to attach a program running in the GO 
language to a GUI, since it doesn't have a built in GUI.  I've found a 
couple of X11 server programs in the Google Play store entitled, 
cleverly, X Server.  I'm wondering if I can run the X server on the 
Android tablet and control or drive it remotely from another PC with a 
GO program or even a bash script.  So, if I install the X Server program 
on the tablet, and say its address is 192.168.50.5, and the pc's address 
is 192.168.50.1, how do I run Ubuntu graphical apps (say Firefox?) on 
the PC and have them appear on the tablet?  Furthermore, how do I use a 
program or script to drive the X11 server directly, so I can use the 
tablet as the GUI for the GO program?

Sincerely,

Ron
