That is because I have no quick idea on how to connect to a pure-VNC X server (such as Xvnc). Well, I actually do have an idea: Write a simple input-only vnc client that reads from Linux input devices. This would be simple, however, it doesn't exist yet. Except: The viewer featured by this thread could probably easily trimmed down to do exactly this when compiled for the RasPi.

Edit/Addendum: That would really make a funny duo. Hm, don't they both run a linux on ARM?
And knc1 is "fairly certain" that the 3G modem in the kindles has an OpenGL engine in it. OpenGL in the MODEM! -- How can we hack that?
