I may try these ideas in the future when I have time, but right now I want to make it work using Teamviewer (because thus far I have found it to be less laggy than other software when some of the screen contains video). I do not really want to hear about solutions using other remote viewing software (vnc etc). I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me if I am on the right track and make these ideas more concrete. Some say I need a hardware dongle (I really cannot believe that you need hardware to do something like this - it must be a common requirement to use a machine without a monitor). This article describes the installation and configuration of TeamViewer on headless Linux systems (e.g. I really do not understand the steps entailed in that, and many Googlees say it does not work anyway. It is also possible that I need to create /etc/X11/nf and set up a dummy monitor.
The solution appears to entail using xrandr to test resolution, and then inserting the xrandr commands somewhere to execute the commands on startup/login, and make the change permanent. xrandr shows LVDS1 to be connected, although it isn't, and it only allows 1024x768 resolution. The problem is that with no monitor attached, the remote desktop has only 1024x768 resolution. The remote machine has no monitor attached. I want to remotely operate a Lubuntu 14.04 machine from another of the same type.
I have done a lot of Googling and I can't make sense of all the information.
