I'm not familiar to starting in a device the xinit to query another Xserver. Could you post the command line to do so?

OTOH, what I've tested as working is having an xepdmgr running on the iliad, and in a laptop (1) export the display to the iliad screen and (2) launch some apps.

About the on-screen keyboard, what is the one you've used? I've had good experiences with xvkbd (not tested with the iliad, BTW).

And as for using an vnc viewer: if you're going that route it may be better to forget the X server, get pocketworkstation's fbvnc sources, adding there the display refresh ioctls and launch that instead of X. Links to the sources here:

I've used fbvnc in a zaurus to control a remote Xvnc via wifi and it was very resilient in regard to dropped packets.

Any outstanding questions?
