: If you want to read the framebuffer, then Xvfb may be a better route -
: it can put the virtual display in a shared memory segment or memory
: mapped file; see the Xvfb manual page for details. However, it is
: nearly impossible to interact with Xvfb (perhaps x0frb might work?).
To pass keystrokes and mouse movements, use x2x.

That still leaves getting the image back... if that's a problem
(which xwd can't solve well enough), x0rfbserver may well work.
Have to be careful what window manager is running; if it insists
on user placement of the window, it's a bit difficult to start x0rfbserver
in the first place.
Of course, simply using xwd can snatch you a copy of the framebuffer's pixels,
and you can then convert them to any format you like with imagemagic.
And it can be done against most any X server, local or remote,
virtual or real, whatever you want. Writing back on the original
is another kettle of fish.
