I do have an issue where the Viewer seems to crash out after an hour or two running and sometimes the DX reboots, leaving me back at the USB Drive Mode screen!

My gut feeling is that the screensaver is maybe kicking in but think I have switched it off and also stopped powerd and netwatchd (not sure what these do but thinking they are to do with power management)

Has anyone seem this before?

Cheers

Hey I've now checked and it happens every 40 odd minutes. When starting the VNC Viewer via telnet from the Pi (via SSH from the PC) this is what I get back after the Kindle reboots

We're switching back to USB MS, so if you're wondering why your terminal is frozen, go read the docs!
