After implementing the awesome workarounds to get a jailbreak working on a 5.6.5 KV (thanks to everyone who made that possible!) I have been tinkering around with trying to get a remote page turn functionality to work which has been done in a few other cases

see http://www.mobileread.mobi/forums/sh...=118480&page=4

etc.

All of these work by using a script or nc etc to call something along the lines of echo "send 191" > /proc/keypad

Since the KV lacks the keyboard seen on a K3 or other models, would it be possible to pipe a command to the /proc/touch with coordinates to simulate a finger press to advance or step back a page? I searched and wasn't able to find anything like this being done for at KT2.

Any thoughts?
