Correct - the question "to use x11 or to use the framebuffer" is an important question.
Hence my note that the project linked to was a qt-embedded (framebuffer) and not a qt (x11) project.
I have not finished reading the changes the author has made, including any possible changes specific to the e-ink display.
The base is qt-embedded v-4.6
But this "dead project" may become significant in the "Kindle Explorer" thread.
