Open-gl either doesn't run across an X connection, or is so slow as to be unusable. I think if you use Axis, you need to immediately set it to the non-3D preview window. Otherwise, I think you can run Axis, and I know you can run Touchy or TKEMC remotely through X. The update rate will be noticeably slowed by the net, but it works. Of course, you can do all sorts of other maintenance work through ssh and sftp as long as the main parts of the OS are running. You might arrange that the net cable be unplugged for security when you don't need access.
This doesn't give you the ability to "look over the operator's shoulder" like VNC, but does allow you to test the machine remotely. VNC works quite well on most Linux systems.
