No. What is your firmware version? You reported a larger framebuffer too (four pages instead of my two pages). Perhaps your particular 5.x firmware now has a third incompatible ioctl structure. Hmm... With a minor change you can force the eips fallback in GMLIB. You can try that.

I wonder if their are incompatible ioctl differences between US and UK kindles?

I will take a look at it soon to get the newest most compatible GMLIB that should be easy to use in new programs.
