Ok, so I've implemented Korean keyboard with postprocessing during the weekend. The basic idea is intercepting the X11 event related to keyboard sent to X11 windows generated from /usr/bin/kb and tweaking the unicodes within the range of Korean characters. So, theoretically, it shouldn't disturb or interrupt other language keyboard inputs and processes. I think it's working well in that perspective.

Anyway, I'm going to make the source code public. And I'd like to release it in a package form with a help of kindletool. I'm searching this forum for how this tool works or at least the usage of this tool.

Since my kindle has GLIBC of version 2.19(PW3 5.8.1) and I had to use it for building binaries instead of default 2.12, I'm worrying it won't work on other versions of firmware.
