Is it you want to send a keystroke to a vncserver (Xvnc) without using a
vncviewer? Why? I think it must be able to make a keyboard only vnc'viewer'
from the source just by stripping a lot of code.

Or is it because you want to send a keystroke to an other Xserver (XFree or
such)? I consider this hacking in X11. Sorry, wrong addres.

If it's for a M$Windows like vnc setup at a unix Xserver, have a look at
http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/ . It's for XFree 4.2 as found with most
current linux distributions.
