Using a Linux/Unix VNC server would be awesome because you could specify
a size for the virtual display independent of your the current desktop
settings. This means even though your desktop might be 1024x768 you
could specify a horizontal and vertical size for the VNC server that
exactly fitted into the Newton's display--without any horizontal or
vertical scrolling being necessary.

Adam
