Oh, I don't think that Xfbdev and x11vnc will play together - the error message is clear in that regard.

I was talking about using Xvfb (virtual framebuffer, pure RAM-based X server) plus x11vnc:

Kindle eink display <-> kindlevncviewer <-> x11vnc <-> Xvfb <-> X11 applications

I used "-encoding copyrect" for kindlevncviewer and "-screen 0 600x800x16" for Xvfb. No special parameters for x11vnc, except pointing it to Xvfb's X11 display address.

It messed up when I tried Xvfb with 8bpp depth, but I didn't investigate.
