Sometimes I find myself with the wish of being able to use my desktop keyboard for input into the N900. Of course I can use x11vnc, but there are some problems with that:

1. Speed, e.g. scrolling and dragging are very slow
2. The keyboard mapping is not correct.

And besides why should I need to redirect the screen if all that I want is redirect the keyboard input?

I imagine a solution that works over ssh and opens up a small window on the desktop computer. When that window is focused on the desktop, then all the keyboard events are sent to n900 and provided to the application.

The question is how to get a program generate virtual keyboard events to X11? If someone can help me with that I could easily build the rest of the application.
