Yeah, its uhm.. well, it could use some bug fixing. But its close. More importantly, it has a much smaller footprint than X11 and we've had trouble with X11 on linuxbios in the past. easier to just use framebuffers.

In the interest of being really fast, and saving some binary size to
boot,
i just want to point out DirectVNC http://www.adam-lilienthal.de/directvnc/

yes, indeed. Ollie Lho had linuxbios booting an sis 630 that
immediately
went into microwindows and then started up VNC -- in a few
seconds. He
demo'd this at ALS 2000.
We are following on this work to build thin clients, with Plan 9
thin
clients as one possibility, although X11 will be first.
