I demo'ed openafs working on my N800 during the OpenAFS and Kerberos
Best Practices Workshop in May. I used x11vnc as the vnc server and
connected to my tablet from the presenting computer. It worked well
enough. The only caveats were a split-second delay and the VNC mouse
pointer wouldn't activate the applications menu, so I had to use the
stylus and tap on my tablet. Be aware that video and accelerated
graphics won't show on x11vnc, but otherwise it went well.
