Description

I understand that project's goal might not need this feature, but is there any way to capture screen io? xhyve have fbuf support, is there any way to it in hyperkit? If not, is there any fork which might have implemented this?

Research direction

Start by comparing hyperkit's display and screen-I/O capabilities with xhyve's fbuf support. The issue names no files, entry points, or tests, so first determine whether hyperkit has an existing framebuffer or VNC path. Done would require a clearly defined supported way to capture screen output, or a documented conclusion that it is not available.
