That runs its own protocol. There is a VNCViewer for palm too. Not that
its much use.

No, but I looked at it long ago. Much better to use a nice OO toolkit.
I guess you might want raw xlib for speed-optimisation in games, but cant
you just map the framebuffer?

   Why X? X gives network transparency, but on a PDA that is better
done by something less bandwidth intensive, like HTML/WML.
   X lets you have multiple apps with their own window - but at 160x240!!?
   But I guess thats all been argued to death on the Agenda mail lists.
