   Well, if it means saving on the order of $180,000, perhaps it would
be worth it to your company to create the virtual driver, or hire
someone to do it (and contribute the final product back to the VNC
community, of course :).
   The problem with just pulling the video card out is that the video
memory goes with it.  Thus, there is nowhere for the screen image to
live, and nowhere for VNC to read it from.  (My theory, anyway.)
