Kindle: Start server
Xvfb -fp /mnt/us/sh/fonts/X11/100dpi/ -noreset -nolisten tcp -screen 0 600x800x8

Kindle: Launch debian... (use amended version of DOS's script)

Kindle: attach vnc
x11vnc -forever -shared -noxdamage -noncache

Kindle: Update display
/mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh 127.0.0.1:0 &

PC: xtightvncviewer kindle (or whatever you use) to get extra pointer and symbols until that gets sorted.

This is now tested as working on a k3.
Via Xvfb. With keys and 5 way working surprisingly OOTB.

Not sure how I will manage the color issues at this point - probably hack the Xresources or something. The games don't want to run unamended.
background color issues though. so maybe not major.

nor does the pointer "highlighting" work (you cant see where it is right now) - but the 5 way does does navigate around menus and pages now

I might think about checking the cursors, see if I can bodge something for visual location output.

But that lot aside:

So this should work as is on the 4 - obviously a usb kb and mouse would make this shine. HTH. I don't think I will test it any further right now

"Proof of Life" anyways

definately going to need HID on a 4NT though
