Ditto -- this looks like an excellent way of getting screenshots of the
N800, also for live demos using a projector attached to laptop.

I have exactly the same problem, also others (notably the Enter key brings
up the thumb keyboard).

Yes, this seems to be when the N800 switches to standby.  It would be nice
in x11vnc restarted automatically...

But the big problem is the 'dead' area of the screen ...

[I also tried two VNC clients, so I don't think the problem is in the
client(s).]
