What is missing for such a beast? As far as I understand, the vnc servers somehow intercept change events on the display. How would that be accomplished with the fb device, being mmapped memory? I don't understand much of such things yet, but I think, once this change event interception is mastered, it should not be too hard to extend one of the existing vnc servers in such a way that it exports the /dev/fbX instead of some 'own' memory, shouldn't it?
