Ah, what you want is remote framebuffer support. |

kde-base/krfb will do the trick, and I know there is a gnome equivalent |
| 10 |
(but I don't know what it is called). It uses vnc, and it essentially |
| 11 |
runs as a daemon if you configure it correctly. |

I'm not sure where it is, but I'm guessing somewhere in the gnome |
| 14 |
control panel you can enable it. Then you can connect to display :0 and |
| 15 |
see whatever is on the console. Note that I'm not sure if you'll see |
| 16 |
anything using direct hardware rendering (like mplayer-using-xv/etc). |

And as you expect it is a bit slow. |
