Hello,

 From the Synergy homepage: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net :
Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between 
multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own 
display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple 
computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).

In short, with synergy you can control your handheld with your computer 
mouse and keyboard...

I patched synergy 1.3.1 to compile on Familiar (which uses diet-x11).
The synergy client was successfully tested on a simpad, but should work 
on any handheld (please send me some feedback if it doesn't)

I have the .bb and patch ready, if any maintainer would like to review 
these and include them in the Familiar git.

Thanks to Thomas Winkler for testing.

Fred
