glslang is not available on Ubuntu 18.04. It can be compiled and installed with the usual procedure:

https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang.git
cd glslang
cmake . -G Ninja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -Bbuild
ninja -C build install

Otherwise the instructions from Getting Started work on Tegra for extended mode on X11.

Direct Mode

The Vulkan driver for nvidia Tegra does not support vulkan based direct mode (VK_EXT_acquire_xlib_display, VK_EXT_direct_mode_display).

Response from nvidia:

VK_EXT_direct_mode_display is not required for doing direct mode through Vulkan on Jetson. VK_KHR_display and VK_KHR_display_swapchain are supported and those can be used for direct display mode.

See the Vulkan on KMS/DRM section in Direct Mode for details of the implementation in Monado.

Applications that require X11

Graphical applications do not properly connect to a normally running X server.

It is possible to run an offscreen X server that runs graphical applications.

Save a modified copy of the xorg.conf file as

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.offscreen

# Copyright (c) 2011-2013 NVIDIA CORPORATION.  All Rights Reserved.

#
# This is the minimal configuration necessary to use the Tegra driver.
# Please refer to the xorg.conf man page for more configuration
# options provided by the X server, including display-related options
# provided by RandR 1.2 and higher.

Then run an X server with the command Xorg -config ./xorg.conf.offscreen :10. It should drop to a text vt console.

Now it is possible to use both XRT_COMPOSITOR_FORCE_VK_DISPLAY=0 to let the Monado compositor use the display, and to start an OpenGL application that requires an X server with DISPLAY=:10, for example DISPLAY=:10 hello_xr -G OpenGL.
