If you've ever heard of a small program called VNC, you may want to check that out. It shows an exact copy of the screen on a remote terminal and can even allow you keyboard and mouse control. I personally never got it to work on my Linux box, but I've used it extensively on the Windows side. But it came with my Mandrake distro, so I know it has to work. Good luck.
Here's their website if you want to see more:

They have downloads for Linux/SPARC/Windows/Macintosh and others including the source code for all.

XVNC(1) General Commands Manual XVNC(1)
NAME
Xvnc - a VNC server
SYNOPSIS
Xvnc [-rfbport port] [-rfbwait time] [-nocursor] [-rfbauth passwd-file] [-httpd dir] [-httpport port] [-deferupdate time] [-economic-
translate] [-lazytight] [-desktop name] [-alwaysshared] [-nevershared] [-dontdisconnect] [-localhost] [-interface ipaddr] [-inetd]
[-compatiblekbd] [X-options...]
DESCRIPTION
Xvnc is a VNC (Virtual Network Computing) server. It acts like an X server with a virtual display. The display can be seen by a VNC
viewer application, which may be running on a different machine: see vncviewer(1).
It is built inside the source code tree of XFree86, and shares many options with it.
Note that if you are going to use VNC on an untrusted network, you will need to use SSH to prevent unauthorised access. See
<URL:http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html> for details.
OPTIONS
The VNC-specific options are as follows:
-rfbport port
TCP port for RFB protocol.
-rfbwait time
Maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait for RFB client.
-nocursor
Don't put up a cursor.
-rfbauth passwd-file
Use authentication on RFB protocol from specified file; see vncpasswd(1).
-httpd dir
Serve files via HTTP from here.
-httpport port
Port for HTTP.
-deferupdate time
Time, in milliseconds, to defer updates (default 40).
-economictranslate
Use less memory-hungry translation.
-lazytight
Disable "gradient" filter in tight encoding.
-desktop name
Set VNC desktop name (default x11).
-alwaysshared
Always treat new clients as shared.
-nevershared
Never treat new clients as shared.
-dontdisconnect
Don't disconnect existing clients when a new non-shared connection comes in (refuse new connection instead).
-localhost
Only allow connections from localhost.
-interface ipaddr
Only bind to the interface with given ipaddr.
-inetd Xvnc is launched by inetd.
-compatiblekbd
Set META key = ALT key, as in the original (AT&T) version of Xvnc.
