Is it possible to run pygame in ubuntu vps server?

Question

I try to run pygame in ubuntu 16.04 vps server. it works with "ssh -X root@server_ip". But pygame gives error when ssh connection without -X.

    pygame.display.set_mode((self.w, self.h),DOUBLEBUF|OPENGL)  
    pygame.error: No available video device

I install x11 in server and it works.Even so pygame error continues.

code :
        os.environ['SDL_VIDEODRIVER'] = 'x11'
        pygame.init()
        pygame.display.set_mode((self.w, self.h),DOUBLEBUF|OPENGL)

x11 status:

You have to install Xming X Server for Windows for this to work and displaying the content on your machine. Download and install XMing from here : https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ and try again.
