There are two ways to accomplish that:

1 Without killing displayMgr

1a. ssh to the iliad and do
Code:
./xepdmgr :0 cat /dev/tty
1b. In the laptop, just export the app to the display of the iliad, as xepdmgr is running it will handle updates for the iliad screen (it is not restricted to the launched application, thus you can use a simple cat as a dummy application).

2. Killing displayMgr. You must use xepdmgr 1.9 for this to work

2a. in the iliad kill displayMgr process

2b. in the iliad launch xepdmgr as server

Code:
./xepdmgr :0
2c. In the laptop launch you application with the display exported to the iliad.

That is it .

There are some problems using xepdmgr as a substitute for displayMgr with regard to contentLister, so I recommend the approach (1) for now .
