Thanks buddy! I'll give those a try!
I've made some progress, here's where I'm at: [K] = Kindle PW, [Pi] = Raspberry Pi, [o2] = MacBook Air [K] Has a copy of ssh that supports the -X option for tunneling X Sessions. After reading through some other threads here I've learned that a second instance of Xorg will display overtop of the existing framework. So, I've launched it like so: [K] Xorg :1 & Then I set the display variable: [K] DISPLAY=:1 I then SSH'd into [Pi] from [K]: ./ssh -X pi@rpi It connects fine, now I try to run an X app: [Pi] midori It runs, no errors, but nothing is displayed on [K]... At this point I kill -9 Xorg on [K] and try running midori again on [Pi]. This time I get an error: Code:
connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X1: No such file or directory Midori - Cannot open display: Edit: Wait a second, it is displaying something! I can see it behind the top menu bar, bits and pieces of it! Hrmmm... Now, how to get it to display on top of everything else? |

Looks like you are fighting for control of the framebuffer. try... killall -stop awesome erm... let me just try that first... gimme sec edit: Okay seems safe enough... no auto-reboot.. and killall -cont awesome when you are done |

if that fails... (it might if you are using Xephyr or some other way of targetting the onboard X that NEEDS awesome running. I dont know...)
then try using an OVERLAY solution like Xepyhr... Let me dig up a thread.. |

Thanks, let me work on that. Though, the copy of Xephyr you sent me seems to be segfaulting.
Code:
[root@kindle bin]# ./Xephyr :1 _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/kindle:1 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 Backtrace: Segmentation fault at address 0x7adf2c Fatal server error: Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault).

By the by, all stopping awesome did was freeze the screen until I resumed it. Xorg on :1 wouldn't overlay, so looks like I'm going to have to get Xephyr running.

ah right. I thought it might.
its like ZERO effort to get Xephyr going just need to right files. if you dont already have them I can give them. simple as that. |

replace bin.
rename it to Xephyr if you want. I have a few versions lying around. the name is irrelevent |

Thanks man! It seems to run, but it's complaining about fonts now. I tried pointing it to the usr/share/fonts/X11/ directory that was part of that bundle you sent me awhile back, but no dice. There has to be a default fixed font built into the system, right?

Haha, let me search through the PW thread. I remember reading that. Just wanted to know if it was something obvious I missed.
