Device: Onyx Boox M92
I figured it out, how to make it work in Xubuntu 14.04

It is only needed to follow the instructions in the README of https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=96

The difference is that it is only necessary to execute the normal gserial .oar file from the Boox (not the gserial without getty). Then the device appears in Linux in /dev/ttyACM0
Then just execute Serial_VNC.oar and let it wait

Then it can be configured a vnc server using vnc4server using this guide http://www.namhuy.net/3106/install-v...ntu-14-04.html --> the most important is to make the ~/.vnc/xstartup file (it is not necessary to follow the instructions to make vnc start automatically) and the initialize the server in the terminal with

vnc4server -geometry 1200x825

Finally, in another terminal, type

sudo java -Dboox_serial_port=/dev/ttyACM0 -jar tightvnc-jviewer.jar -JpegImageQuality=Lossless

from the corresponding directory where the jar files are.
And that's it, I have a XFCE session in the M92 !!



I hope this helps to someone


Cheers,
