I'm currently fiddling with a script that should intercept (via LD_PRELOAD) mmap/ioctl calls - mainly to recreate something like the "Kobo night mode" hack for the Kindle. I like it to be more hackable, so I interface it with LuaJIT. When that is done, I can use that also to display a clock. I have everything ready, since we have FreeType interfacing for Koreader already and it shouldn't be too hard to integrate. Then we have scalable antialiased truetype fonts for clocks. Well, and night mode :-)
