The issue is really that this device works on an X.

the touchscreen is serviced by it.
as is the Xdamage code (decides what to redraw on the screen) squirrelled away in the LUA.

it's this 2nd point that is the issue really, the first one I could help with by simply providing a tinier X, with the relevant config for the Touchscreen.

I have actually done some research on hi-jacking the xdamage code however it is Amazon proprietary code so that limits how we can use it in a few ways.

Posting stuff about it on here for example can not contain code excerpts etc etc.

but yeah, that is the issue and yep I have tried to work around it before.
DOUBTLESS it can be done. Haven't had time to properly have a dig into it yet.

Too much too do, not enough time, not enough people digging...

When you say "crash" do you mean restart the X? or what?
IIRC there is a hardcoded "reset X cos we are low on memory" value that maybe could be adjusted...

Need more info on exactly what you are trying to fix.
