I preface this in saying, I don't know a lot of stuff here, however there are instructions in various places how to make your android tablet a second screen. Basically you extend your X desktop, run x11vnc to serve part of the area to vnc, then run a vnc client on your android:
MODE="172.88 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync"
MODENAME=1920x1080_60.03
TAG=DP-1
MAIN=eDP-1
xrandr --newmode $MODENAME $MODE
xrandr --addmode $TAG $MODENAME
xrandr --output $TAG --mode $MODENAME --left-of $MAIN
x11vnc -clip $TAG -nocursorshape -nocursorpos
This sort of works for me, or at least I get a blank desktop which I can move my mouse onto, which seems promising
after you run this, arandr can somehow recognise the existence of DP-1, however xrandr reports DP-1 as disconnected. If I run autorandr -s, I get:
`DP-1' is not off (has a mode configured) but is disconnected (does not have an EDID).
This typically means that it has been recently unplugged and then not properly disabled
by the user. Please disable it (e.g. using `xrandr --output DP-1 --off`) and then rerun
this command.
I don't know if I should expect this to work, but based on a lot of people using this method, it seems like it should. And since part of my standard setup is to run autorandr when it detects a monitor, one would hope it would detect a virtual one also... or at least not error? Seemingly, arandr is smarter about this than autorandr.
