yeah I don't know why myts wouldn't do anything for me. I'll have to try again. I did notice that the keyboard is powered down when the thing goes to sleep, but I don't think it was asleep when I tried. Maybe it was though.

Thanks for the tips on fbcon and fbgetty. It would probably take some tweaking to get it working on kindle since kindle needs refresh signals and such. fbcon is an interesting idea too because I know that the kernel can switch to fb mode to give more text lines on PCs.

But I'm afraid I'd have to recompile the kernel for the kindle to turn that on.

Thanks,

Jesse
