Not sure if this will be helpful or not..

The SDL video subsystem error makes me think that they put in a patch that your 
current version of LibSDL has a problem with, or have applied some protection 
to prevent LibSDL from attaching to the Mac graphics console. You might want to 
check to see if there is a newer and more compatible version of LibSDL for your 
patched system version.

Or obviously, turn off the VAX QVSS/QDSS component that requires the LibSDL 
library and start the VAX without the graphics head.  :-(

Subject: EXT :[Simh] Can't start VAX from SSH

I am working from home and can only SSH in to my desktop Mac at work.  Our 
unhelpful IT department automatically patches and reboots our system, which 
must have happened last night.  That terminated the SIMH VAX I left running.  
Normally, I leave my desktop logged in.  Until today, I have had no trouble 
starting my SIMH VAX remotely.

Today, no one is logged in to my desktop.  When I SSH remotely and try to start 
my SIMH VAX, it fails immediately with the error message:
$ ./vax-20200419
_RegisterApplication(), FAILED TO establish the default connection to the 
WindowServer, _CGSDefaultConnection() is NULL.
SDL Video subsystem can't initialize
Is there any way around this short of driving to work and logging in to my 
desktop?
