It does exist... it's called VNC server. Maybe you can have a look at:

http://www.sodan.org/~penny/vncrec/ <http://www.sodan.org/%7Epenny/vncrec/>

or

http://suif.stanford.edu/vncplay/freenix05-html/

I don't know any of them, but they can be useful.

Also this one:

http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/pyvnc2swf.html
<http://www.unixuser.org/%7Eeuske/vnc2swf/pyvnc2swf.html>

It's vncrec compatible and can record and replay sessions.

The best solution I think is to get a way to send QEMU the screenshot to

pyvnc2swf has the ability to create image files from VNC sessions. It is
easily customizable and a special instruction could be recorded into the
.vnc files meaning:

1) Request a full screen update
2) Turn screen buffer into an image
3) Compare image to reference

Control points could be chosen in recording time and inserted into the .vnc
by some key combination.

Eduardo
