Yes, it's missing the gray levels.
That doesn't look so pretty.
And all the buttons/windows are so small on the Aura HD.

The "gloscreen utilities" as I named it (sorry, no "official name" I guess )...
I was referring to the gloScreen.zip file in another thread

I recompiled that fb update utils for the Aura HD resolution.

And there's another thread how to use a chroot environment and it uses another method of updating the framebuffer without kernel changes:
Debian chroot for Kobo
(AFAIK, the image is from Andreas Heider)

I tried to combine both worlds, the Andreas Heider fb_update and Marek's chroot dir running the awesome window manager.
It worked somehow, but not really pretty, because of the black&white issue and the much smaller buttons/windows.
