I tried to run a screensaver hack I found for Kindle 2s on my DX, and it didn't work.

I'm new to this whole thing, so I'm not certain it's the same hack you're talking about.

It's a .4 version by one "clarknova" on this board.

If that's the file you're talking about, it seems to be totally inert. Didn't cause any problems, but wouldn't run. I placed the binary in the root of the Kindle in USB mode, and went to tell it to update like the README file said. The update option, however, was grayed out and inactive; I couldn't select it.

Didn't hurt anything, though. I went and deleted it out again just to be on the safe side.
