  • 2) KSM09_update001.zip was provided to be applied to KBStartMenu_09.zip to solve a screen rotation problem with H2O and some minor stuff
  • 3) I removed KBStartMenu_09.zip, and provided instead KBStartMenu_09_plus_update_001.zip (which is KBStartMenu_09.zip with KSM09_update001.zip already applied)
  • 4) KBStartMenu_09_plus_update_001.zip became the basis for developing the Clara HD version, apart from the adaptations for clara HD, nightmode was added. The package was then provided by CH23 with the name KBStartMenu_09_plus_update_001_and_nightmode.zip.
  • 5) I provided update_ids.zip to adapt KSM to some further models
  • 6) Elim Garak merged update_ids.zip with KBStartMenu_09_plus_update_001_and_nightmode.zip, and replaced/added the mouse/touch-drivers (and some other libs) with newer versions (from pbchess_2019.02.05_kobo.zip) and provided the resulting package KBStartMenu_09_forma_test.zip.
The above sequence of events does however not explain everything, at least to me. I have to admit I don't know why for instance, Elim Garak uses and older version of usr\local\Kobo\udev\usb than CH23.
what an adventure ! many branches of opensource. I understand better now.

Maybe will we have the chance to get Elim's explanation?

For your KSM9 update project, I'm OK to do some test on my device following your steps. (on Libra, and for now my AuroH2Oed2v1 before resell, and maybe KoboAura_Ed2)

Before starting, we should list everything that differentiates 2 kobos model in the conf, to put them in a single conf file : For instance quickly :
Product Name
Frontlight, yes/no
Frontlight driver : xxx
Wifi : yes/no
Wifi driver : xxx
Native screen res
Mouse driver :xxx
Multitouch yes/no
TurnPage Button : yes/no
fbrotate=
ksmrotate=

So, each new device will be easier to add.
Only one file to edit.

But it looks like more a major update, closer of a ksm 10 than a KSM_09_update002
