Works just fine through SSH. Some of the GUI programs work fine, if you export DISPLAY=:0 before starting them in your SSH shell. Also, had fun playing around with remote X sessions--on the Neo, run xhost + , which allows X connections from other machines. Then, on your connected machine, you can export DISPLAY=192.168.0.202:0, and start up programs on your laptop and play around with them on the Neo... was fooling around with xeyes, konqueror, gnometris, and others on the Neo... I haven't found the terminal settings to get rid of the box/space/box on backspace/etc. but this should be possible. There is another keyboard available, however, which has tab, escape, shift, all the normal stuff on one screen. Not sure the official way to get to it, but I hold down for a second or two along the right edge of the white box, and get a pop-up menu with two keyboards and stroke recognizer listed. The second keyboard is much easier to use for terminal stuff, including tab completion...
