A little research found an application called "mtPaint" that apparently has quite small technical requirements (200MHz CPU & 16MB RAM). Given there is a port to the Angstrom distribution, I am assuming that this means an ARM port is either part of the original source or the Angstrom port could be used. Has anyone thought of or tried compiling this for the iLiad?

The scribble app is a vector drawing "program", while mtpaint is a bitmap one. Scribble would be best replaced with something like xournal, but until there is a way to do partial refreshes, it's not an easy program to port.
About mtpaint specifically, it should be easy to port; once you have the vm try to compile it as-is.
if that simple recompile works, then is only a matter of doing the changes needed for having keypresses (make it create the main window with "sh" wmclass) and screen refreshes (bundling xepdmgr and setting up a launch script and manifest file for it).
If you need help with some issue, just ask
