Hi,

I see that this thread is pretty old and perhaps inactive, but i wanted to ask here first before trying other options.

I am trying to use kindle vnc viewer to get my Kindle DX graphite to work as a second monitor. I am working on Manjaro Linux (Archlinux derivative), tigervnc 1.5.0, and kindle vnc viewer latest available version. Briefly, I jailbroke the kindle, enable USB networking and started a VNC server session using the following command:

xinit /usr/bin/fluxbox -- /usr/bin/Xvnc :1 -geometry 1200x824 -depth 16 -dpi 160 -alwaysshared -SecurityTypes=None

Then opened a telnet session to the attached kindle DX and typed the following commands in succession:

    [root@kindle root]# /etc/init.d/netwatchd stop
    [root@kindle root]# /etc/init.d/powerd stop
    [root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh 192.168.2.1:1 &

This is what the telnet konsole shows:

19/12/2015 00:30:32 VNC server supports protocol version 3.8 (viewer 3.8)
19/12/2015 00:30:32 We have 2 security types to read
19/12/2015 00:30:32 0) Received security type 19
19/12/2015 00:30:32 Selecting security type 19 (0/2 in the list)
19/12/2015 00:30:32 1) Received security type 2
19/12/2015 00:30:32 Selected Security Scheme 19
19/12/2015 00:30:32 TLS support was not compiled in
com.lab126.powerd failed to set value for property preventScreenSaver (0x3)

This is what the VNC server konsole shows:

Sat Dec 19 00:30:32 2015
 Connections: accepted: 192.168.2.2::52823
 SConnection: Client needs protocol version 3.8

 EncodeManager: Framebuffer updates: 0
 EncodeManager:   Total: 0 rects, 0 pixels
 EncodeManager:          0 B (1:-nan ratio)

As you may guess, kindle screen does not show anything other than the default home screen.

I am a non-technical person, so please be gentle with me if I am missing something very obvious.

Thanks in advance for the input.
