Hi, Is anyone aware of an app that will let you type on an Android device's on-screen keyboard and send the keystrokes to a Linux box via an HID device? (ie. So X etc sees the input.)
Not quite what you want but Valence connects to a PC via VNC, it doesn't display the host PC screen just a keyboard and touch pad, works with any PC Linux, Win or Mac that is running a VNC server, market link is

It is what I use at home to drive a debian machine when I am kicking back watching movies etc and use it as a remote control
hope that helps you out For what it is worth - I recently got a cheap recharge-able blue tooth keyboard that works fine with my Samsung SII for $22
