Install an X11 terminal program on the server. This may mean installing
a bunch of X11 libraries, but you do not need to actually run X on the
server. Instead, you access the server from a system running X, and run
the program on the server, with its display on the system running X.
Then you use one of the many X-capable capture programs to capture the
X terminal.

So on your server:

   apt-get install xterm

on your X server

   ssh -f -X server.domain.com xterm
 
then capture the xterm on your X server.

Regards, K.
