But how do you then get the app output to the kiosk CRT?

Try writing a little script (su - kioskuser) that logs in kioskuser on
virtual console 1 and putting that in the inittab so it respawns.  That
user runs ``screen'' in its .bashrc or .profile or wherever, but it'll
output on vc1 since that's where he's logged in.  Then ssh as above.

If you're running something that's not curses-aware, you can simply use
/dev/console to watch the lines scroll by; I don't remember quite how to
set it up but it used to be standard to see /dev/console on vc8.
