How can I display and record my phone's screen on a PC display having Linux?

Hi.
I do this because I could not find a Linux software that does it.
My "weak" solution is by continuously taking screen-shots, and saving them on the mobile's memory disk. The following Python code illustrates more:

import appuifw, e32
import graphics 
import appswitch
global running
running = 1
def quit():
        appuifw.note(u"Exit key pressed!")
	running = 0
        app_lock.signal()

def capture(): 
	#we will capture a screen shot every 1 second.
	#We will let obexftp dowenload the screenshot from the mobile in a shell script as  "screenshot.jpg"
	#Geeqie is already set to re-read and re-display "screenshot.jpg" on change.
	appswitch.switch_to_bg(u"Python")
	e32.ao_sleep(1)
	while running==1 :
          try:	
		print "taking a picture\n"
		#Take the screenshot 1
		img1 = graphics.screenshot()
		#Save it to the specified path E:\\screenshot.jpg (on the memory card)
		img1.save(u"E:\\screenshot.jpg")
		e32.ao_sleep(0.5)
		print "picture taken\n"
            except Exception:
                   print "exception handled"

appuifw.app.menu=[(u"start screen capture",capture)]

appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = quit
app_lock = e32.Ao_lock()
app_lock.wait()

Then I used obexftp to download E:\\screenshot.jpg to my desktop in an infinite loop using shell/bash.
The following shell code explains:

 cd /tmp #on debian linux /tmp is a mount point of a RAM disk. This is where E:\\screenshot.jpg is going to be saved on the desktop.
 while true; 
     do obexftp -u 1 -c 'E:' -g screenshot.jpg  ;  # I am using usb cable to download. Do read obexftp manual: man obexftp.
     sleep 0.1;
 done;

There is an image viewer called Geeqie. This viewer can re-display and re-read an image if any change happens to its contents.
And this what I am doing with the downloaded file. Using the /tmp mount point of a RAM disk can speed up the reading and display of E:\\screenshot.jpg
and saves my hard disk.


What I noticed is that this idea works. However, it's very slow and primitive, because I am saving the screen-shot on the phone before downloading it.
So my question is how can I skip this step by directly sending the screen-shot to the desktop? How can I, at least, save the screen-shot on the phone's RAM?

The aim of all of this is to make tutorial videos in Arabic about pyS60 by recording a video of my desktop and my phone at the same time.
Here is an example video:
