It's a somewhat complicated setup.  I would really rather not have to use a
direct console connection, it would be much better just to rely on ssh (IP)
connections, but I don't think you can start Xorg without being on a physical
tty, isn't that so?  Am I wrong?  I apologize if I'm wrong (I can't test this at
the moment).
