okay. so the logical conclusion of all that is...

since we can start the Xserver AND point x11vnc at it AND run xvncviewer.

[root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/Xfbdev -fp /mnt/us/sh/fonts/X11/100dpi/ -noreset -nolisten tcp -screen 600x800x8 -bs -wr

IF xvncviewer could point to x11vnc started in a shared mode like:

[root@kindle lib]# x11vnc -noxdamage -noncache -shared -forever
[root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh kindle:0

and then on the PC: you could just "step in" to add control. like:

vnc <kindle ip or hostname>

where vnc was:
Quote:
#!/bin/bash
xtightvncviewer -encodings "tight copyrect" -depth 4 -compresslevel 1 $@ &
sleep 2;
# make it tidy
wmctrl -x -r Tight -e 0,0,0,600,800
wmctrl -x -r Tight -b toggle,fullscreen
sadly this does not work as there appears to be some ZRLE (or perhaps just "expected" formatting) errors when trying this:

[root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh kindle:0

however - if working - this would present us with the best of all worlds.

EDIT: I had a dig around in the command line switches but nothing leaped out as really useful for further testing. would have to jump into the code.
(/mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kindlevncviewer --help )

/mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/config.lua appears to be all key related.

so no obvious easy wins.
