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
