I have a monitor screen plugged in to the hdmi port on my raspberry pi. I
would like to do a remote login and run a python program whose output is to
the hdmi port. I am sure it can be done, just haven't figured out the
syntax quite yet.

Right now, the screen is sitting at login prompt. No keyboard/mouse
attached to the pi. Even trying to get xeyes to come up with xeyes -display
localhost:0.0 only gets me a Error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0

Something simple I am sure, but its been a long time since playing with
remote xserver.
