Ok. I found out that

Code:

framework.mario.conf

is modified by the screensaver hack. In the mobileread wiki (for the kindle 2 screensaver hack) I also found the following advice:

Note: Currently the v0.3 hack does not restore the framework.mario.conf md5sum to match the original. thus, future updates _may_ still fail.

I guess that is exactly whats happening here?
So is there a way to restore the correct md5checksum?

Well, there is a version 0.4 for the kindle 2 but not for the KindleDX, which is still at 0.1

There is a wiki entry for the KindleDX Screensaver as well. https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...een_Saver_Hack It states nothing as to the 0.3 error. Then again the DX hack is still 0.1 (confusing).

Even more confusing is the (in the wiki entry for the DX) linked uninstall.bin. It's update_ufh_uninstall-kdx.bin (old). But "ufh" is unicode font hack, right? What has it to do with the screensaver hack?

What remains is the single question?
How to restore the framework.mario.conf md5 checksum.
