You need two video cards (as Andrew Bevitt mentioned).
You must make sure that the server under test doesn't grab the
keyboard or mouse from the debug console; giving it dummy devices
with the "void" input device driver (you could use a second mouse
but I've never got a second keyboard to work with 2.4.small kernels).

All in all, telnet/ssh from a second machine is usually less hassle.
