right then... gimme a minute..

Things typed:


ON PC:
vncpassword (enter 8 digit password)

x11vnc -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd -bg -accept "popup" -gone "popup" -rfbport 5900 -gui tray=minimal,iconfont=14x17 -forever -noxdamage -shared &

(I also pictured a few variants of the x11vnc interface)

ON PC: ssh root@kindleIP
(now we are in kindle terminal effectively)

then killall -stop cvm (to stop keystrokes from being swallowed)

then
[root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh -password password PCipaddress


now we are rolling...

the rest is pictured...

I showed also the likely kindle TERMINAL output (the eink update messages in the shell)

And the PC side... then the kindle side...

You could convert this to scripts... or whatever...

CONCLUSION:

mainly worked. keystrokes and special symbol might be a PITA in the beginning until you get a config.LUA you like... I never bothered playing with that but feel with a little determination this could be a complete solution.

EDIT: I NOTED THAT SYM+ some KEY does not produce a symbol... just fix that up...

ALT + something did work but left you in an odd location.

Tabbing wasn't immediately obvious how it might work and that would need love.

Delete key didn't seem properly mapped OOTB

Moving the cursor was entirely in-obvious.

These are all setup issues though. perhaps with time they could all be configured in the config.lua. Didn't play around any further...

Alternately you could go down the OTG usb route WITH THE KINDLE 4 and invert the colors PC side to fix the inverted framebuffer colors... either way. in a pinch this would work.

Hope that helps.


CNTRL +C then
killall -cont cvm

and press HOME on the kindle or...
echo "send 139" > /proc/keypad
echo "send 139" > /proc/keypad

(same thing)

to get the kindle back to normal.
