Well, it all boils down to plain logic thinking. #1: Find the problem, #2: solve it. #1 is the hardest, except when you tend towards perfectionism, then you can make #2 arbitrary hard, too.
As for finding the problem, you could make friends with tcpdump (and finding one for the KDX...), strace, ...
Don't fool yourself. It might be hard. You need a trained eye and brain to find some kind of programming errors. I wouldn't even consider my eyes to be fully trained yet. Such a thing takes a live of active training.
I would suggest some kind of a band-aid (AKA dirty patch) here, but I have a hard time thinking of one. Constantly restarting in, say, 1-minute intervals, is probably annoying when everything is well and is probably a too long interval for when it breaks (with a medium of 30secs to remedy). Well, so it has to be a tad bit more sophisticated.
First, find out if it's the SSH tunnel that is broken. Does the terminal window still react? If not - make use of that. Detect that situation and break the connection. You would need to script the connection on the Windows side for that. Thousands of ways to do so (OK, exaggerating a bit), but maybe start with using a command line SSH client rather than PuTTY, see if it has options to error out and quit for when the connection breaks (some of them do!). Put it in a loop for reconnection.
And so on. I just can't give a simple recipe, sorry.

The putty command window freezes and stops printing the "partially updating eink display" message. I then disconnect usb and rotate the kindle screen then plug in again and it sometimes works again for 5 min. Then i usually reset and start all over again which takes 3-4 minutes. Sometimes ill do this 20 times in a hour then give up. Othertimes it will stay connected for an hour or two and it isnt so bad.
It just didonnect while i was typing this message, 3 minutes after i had just done a full reset: typed ;debugOn etc then typed all the commands in putty etc. So frustrating it doesnt work properly it would be an awesome solution. I will literally pay you $1000 to get it fixed and send you a kindle dx, if youre interested?
