Definitely post any results from ebs, Rancho, for others of us with the newer firmware. I hope that the .jar md5sum error is one that needs a new .bin file to get past, since it would be criminal to harass ebs for this if we could have found the work-around on Google.
Can't wait to have this issue put to bed for me - received the device yesterday and when I saw the "screensaver" I immediately started searching for a way to get rid of it.
Massive thanks to ebs for solving a massive issue with the Kindle DX, and solving it elegantly - without removing any of the value of a low-power mode, yet adding all the value of behaving more like a book.

I expanded your handy .zip file above, but the .bin file won't "Update" successfully.
I get this error message in the resulting screensave-lp_install.log file (comes back from Kindle DX)..
install: screensaver-lp v0.03, Tue Oct 13 00:32:17 UTC 2009
/opt/amazon/ebook/lib/framework-impl.jar md5sum mismatch (5e639281b34f94e309ab4e7fede70c75), aborting...
Do you have a "better" version of this .bin file for my Kindle DX please???
I can handle .tar.gz compressed, or .zip compressed files... Spent the day on this...very comfortable with the USB transfers and attempted updates, but frustrated at lack of success.
Thanks (from Rancho210)
PS: I installed the update_sceensaver-timeout.bin file successfully! (But NOT the -k2.bin version!)
Many Thanks...
