linux-second-screen

Open source solution to use any android device as second monitor on linux.

The power of the script

Take a look at the monitor.sh.
This script will create the virtual monitor and start x11vnc server for you.
You only need to pass those parameters, if you want. The parameters could be passed in any order

• Device resolution using [width]x[height], without bracets. Sample 800x600
• -v - VIRTUAL display to be used. Sample v1, v2, v3
• -left or `-right - the position of your device, related to you display
• -hst - Subtract status bar size from virtual display
• -hsb - Subtract system bar size from virtual display

Mixing with ADB?

Some Android device return can return the resolution throught command line.
To use that you will need to enable developer mode on your device. Check this to enable.
With this you don't need to pass any parameters to the script.
