    One way to acheive this is to have a Xvfb(1) virtual framebuffer X
    server running in the background and have x11vnc attached to it.

    Here is one way to start up Xvfb:
   xinit -- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :1 -cc 4 -screen 0 1024x768x16
 
    This starts up a 16bpp virtual display. To export it via VNC use
-   "x11vnc -display :1 ...". The "-cc 4" option is to force Xvfb to use a
-   TrueColor visual instead of DirectColor.
