I am using a modified version of http://fbvncserver.sourceforge.net/ on my arm system running in framebuffer. It is useable, but slow. Writing an real vnc engine for evas *will* make it much faster as you dont have to monitor the whole framebuffer for changes. I am unsure on how you can render to a vnc engine *and* the fb engine (or some other backend) at the same time. You still want to be able to use the framebuffer while device it's being remoted, right?
