Shouldn't this be possible with a single direct ethernet link between laptop and device? I'm not actually sure on the specifics. Or would this require a router? I know you can forward graphical programs with X11 as well

This is one of those rough edges that I wish a Linux distro got right. It's rare, but once in a blue moon you do want to hook up two laptop (say one broken and one working one) and control one from the other (without the ability to configure stuff)
