Nonvnc and Opensource to Use DX(G) as a PC Display

I'd say let's go back to how v1 was working (without rmmod g_ether and ...) and use dithermation to speed up instead. ?

What compiler?
Anything newer than 4.6 generates un-aligned memory accesses on ARMv6.
There is a very good chance that the lab126 kernel wasn't patched to support un-aligned memory accesses.

so check your compiler/compiler docs - see if you can disable un-aligned memory accesses - -
or use an older compiler.

I have a few ramblings about that very fact in the comments of my x-compile script in the K3 TC setup section .

This technical stuff is getting too technical, my head is swimming.
Perhaps we should standardize on something - COBOL maybe?

For all practicality, I'd like to vouch for the mylcd v1.0 way of doing things (as it was less intrusive) + dithermation. I PM'ed.

The mylcd v1.0 is for windows only, idoit, the binary is not working on your dxg, the reason I guess is due to the dxg or ubuntu's kernel version is not what is mentioned on github.

I like linux, so the linux binary is put on https://github.com/nahtethan/dxg-display, which I believe is working, but idoit said he failed, has anyone else tried binary?

Maybe, but see also posts #46 and #47 above.

The kernel version for the client side is out of question because as soon as mylcd is run Kindle reboots!

Just to hijack a thread (haven't done that yet today) -

There is a lot of that going around -
I now have grub(2) booting Win8.1 directly to BSD.
No user interaction required -
just gets the express trip to BSD after the little loading icon stops spinning.

MS has improved that (since Win95) - after about a 5 second delay, it shuts down the computer, as in 'power off'.

= = = =

Most recent release of gparted-live hangs - kernel is missing a USB hub module required for the little box I am testing on.

Which may turn out to be Kubrick's problem also (or something very similar).

I mean the kernel version of dxg, is it dxg 2.5.8 and kernel 2.6.22?

2.6.22.
Can both Windows version and Linux version of client merge? (which I believe affects the server side too?!)

Maybe you are required to use launchpad to insmod module and execute mylcd.
Windows version is totally different to Linux.

launchpad was replaced years ago by KUAL and has not been maintained for even longer.

It is ok, please use kual, just launch some commands using keyboard.

I guess my point did not translate well.
Try this in your favorite on-line translator:

Nobody is maintaining launchpad.
When it breaks, it will be broken forever.

People are maintaining KUAL.
When it breaks, it gets fixed.

Do you want your application to die when launchpad dies?
Your choice.

Obviously, I have tried it with both KUAL extension and Launchpad. I think that's irrelevant. Now, the point that knc1 and NiLuJe arise might affect regarding kernel. My point is, even if that's true, it is a weakness, not be able to run on all DX(G)'s let alone other Kindles. We should work towards making it available for more variations. So, did mylcd 1.0 have less complications and therefore less issues of this sort?

One thing is that the Windows version at least did work... The Linux version didn't work for me.

Also, KUAL is keyboard-less...
