@Bandi-T: is that using scanline mode? and have you disabled Kobo's cover/progress options, it probably works best with the plain "standby" screen?

Possible problems with scanline mode are... using the wrong signature, or using the wrong delay values. If you're not on 3.18.0 firmware and still using logread mode, your best bet is the delay option as well, see if other values work better.

There is another screensaver mod that does the LD_PRELOAD. I'm trying to avoid this solution though, as it would raise the conflict potential with other mods [that modify rcS and use their own preloads already such as the night mode].

Basically in order to control the preload you also have to control the nickel startup but I don't [it could be started by rcS, it could be started by KSM, it could be with or without nightmode, etc. etc.].

I rather prefer my mod to be an external/independent entity, although the scanline solution is already breaking that rule a little by hooking into 'dd'...
