I'm testing xvfb-run possibilities and I display the famous trex game in a chromium tab on a specific DISPLAY with this command line : $
xvfb-run -n 1 -f ~/.Xauthority --server-args='-screen 0 1600x1200x24 -shmem -listen tcp' chromium-browser --no-sandbox --disable-gpu --window-size=1600,1200 --window-position=0,0 --kiosk http://www.trex-game.skipser.com
The fact is, when I press "space" key, the trex should start walking and jumping. But none of this happen.
So I ran the following command :
DISPLAY=:1 xinput
And I was surprised to see there was no real keyboards.
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Xvfb mouse id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Xvfb keyboard id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
If I use :
DISPLAY=:1 xdotool key space
I'm able to jump with the trex, which is normal because xdotool directly interact with the XTEST keyboard if I'm right.
I thought that my X server was listening on the /dev/input folder, but I start wondering if I should somehow attach my keyboard on the x server.
Does anyone know how to do so ?
