Hey b_lizzard (and others),

Were you able to make any headway on this? I'm not so much interested in SDL, but I would like to understand how the Amazon Framework is using directfb and what communication channel they are using to trigger eink refreshes via the eink hal. In other words, is it user apps triggering those refreshes, working around the rest of the directfb stuff, or does their directfb have some kind of logic to automatically do this?

In my simplistic view of the world it seems like a lot of GTK+ apps could be built for Kindle, on top of directfb.
