Adam is right. Sources for the patch to libX11 are here:
http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad...0061203-2.diff

The patched libX11 follows the early work of scotty1024 to document the way to refresh the display on the iliad.

And Adam is also right about xepdmgr. The patched libX11 helps but has a lot of irritating limitations, hence xepdmgr. But right now I'm stuck compiling the needed libxdamage for the iliad. If all goes well, xepdmgr will not have library dependencies and be a lot smaller than the patched libX11... it's a work in progress :-).

P.S.: Well, xepdmgr will depend on liberdm, as we don't know (yet) how to do the updates directly O:-)
