MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - [HOWTO][WIP] Run Xorg on your Kobo + full-blown Firefox

Hi,
Today I'm asking for help. After hours of trying to get pure Xorg working (because if it does, the speed will be incredibly increased) without the need to take screenshots, hence displaying directly to the framebuffer, I don't know what to do. I've tried several methods, experienced with my Libra's framebuffer with pickel (showpic) and... even that didn't work, it returned a distorted image on my screen. I also did

Code:

cat /dev/urandom | /usr/local/Kobo pickel showpic

That worked. But it just prints a bunch of noise and I can't know if it is properly scaled or not.
If you want, please, I'd like help. Just post your ideas below! (or should I start a Git repo?)

Thanks, any suggestion is much appreciated.
