Oh ho? 

Is someone porting a vnc server!?  :)  You would be my best friend if 
you are.  Anyway, I know this is something that the wacom tablet driver 
by Noah Silva had to handle.  I have all of his files but sadly I cannot 
find the source to this driver.  He did say that he explicitly recalls 
using a VDI function for cursor positioning.

Thanks,
