OpenEmulator is being ported to Linux.  OE currently provides Apple-1,
II, ][+, and soon /// support.  OE does a fantastic job of emulating the
video of various monitors.  While Virtual ][ and AppleWin provide a bit
more function, OE *feels* like the real thing.  I attribute that to the
video output support.
Nice idea. I do not know what you are using for OpenEmulator under linux (SDL ?), try to use something usable on the RPi.

That all said, I think OE would be the best fit for Raspberry Pi and
what I'd really like to see is if OE could control the on-board RCA
video of the Pi directly bypassing it's video emulation and driving NTSC
or Pal directly.  If so, that would be quite possibly the ultimate
Apple-1, II, /// emulator.  I do not know how the Pi is wired or if it
is wired for that.  And I do not know if it could drive Apple monitors.
  But what if it could?

At least, I can try to put my RPI on an Apple II Monitor. You can't bypass the video card, I think.
