ffmpeg can record a screen. http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/148/capture-video-of-a-linux-desktop

However, if you just want to use a remote display, X/Windows will do that easily. It is built in using just the DISPLAY environment variable. If you use 'ssh -X {userid}@{other-UNIX/Linux-host} cmd-on-remote-host' will do it easily assuming the machine you are on is running an X-Server.

But I could be misunderstanding the question.
