Well, Chris, that was a great suggestion!
I can, in fact, run a gui root process on the remote machine, now.
Unfortunately I still can't run qemu so that I can get the console. I get:
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 25 (X_SendEvent)
Resource id in failed request: 0x3e
Serial number of failed request: 18
Current serial number in output stream: 21
Any advice on how to setup the remote (headless, mouseless, and keyboardless)
server to run X? My brain is fried trying to track down a HOWTO, and the
wiki is just a half millimeter left of useless.
Thanks for your input!
