A modification on the above option - instead of a dedicated display, 
enable the VNC server on the RPi and use RealVNC on your main computer 
as the display for the RPi.  I'm working on this as the setup for my 
second TruePosition board.

It works pretty well.  Here is a screen-shot from my desktop PC using 
RealVNC into the VNC Server on my RPi running Lady Heather, but without 
the TruePosition hooked up yet:
