It's not possible with the current design you have. It will not be possible to have the NUC's video resources be used as the display that the KVM guest thinks is associated with its VGA adapter. That said there are a couple of options that you have here to proceed, at least from the top of my head: 1) Put X11 into the global zone and have it connect to those environments using something like X11 vnc. 2) It's just software, there's nothing that says what you want is strictly impossible. You could probably write some software that basically is a video multiplexor and try and multiplex that across your physical hardware and emulate your own kind of video adapter that can be used to share across the real adapter. Of course, the devil is certainly in the details on going down that path. But it all depends on the amount of work that you're willing to put into it.
