Are you trying to display a live version of the desktop in realtime or is a recorded screencast played back in a loop good enough? If so, I'd recommend trying out "Istanbul". It's a program that lets you record screencasts in the open ogg theora format. I know it's available in Debian / Ubuntu repositories and probably others. (There's flash screencast tool as well, but I get frustrated when people do screencasts in flash because flash doesn't work on my amd64 box and I don't feel like setting up a 32-bit chroot just for flash) -- jonner
