Dear Yaroslav,<br>
<br>
you proposed that Experyment should also run under xvfb. I am not
sure that I understood correctly, why you want that. What kind of
application do you have in mind?<br>
<br>
If I run, for instance, Expyriment on remote machine, I switch
merely switch of opengl (expyriment.control.defaults.open_gl = False
). You can also run testsuite without OGL using the command line
interface:<br>
<br>
python -m expyriment.cli -gT <br>
<br>
Of course, we should automatize that under xvfb. But I think that
doesn't help you, right?<br>
<br>
