Just delete libm.so from the Gargoyle folder (extensions/gargoyle/dist/) and try again.

Just did this and it's finally working! Thanks very much. This has been on my mind for the last 5 months and I wish I had taken the initiative to try again sooner.

I can't enter Cyrillic characters in the input line. The cursor won't move.

Is there a way to exit a game back to the file browser, or quit the Gargoyle app from within a fiction window? My interface takes over the entire screen when launching a fiction on my Kindle, and I haven't figured out a way to exit back to KUAL without restarting my entire Kindle. Is there a built-in gesture to exit, or at least a Gargoyle console command to escape out of a fiction so I don't have to restart my Kindle?

Thanks to Frogm4n for the clarification. I would still suggest that adding a default gesture to exit a game or some other more convenient way to exit would be very helpful. Please consider this feature for a future update, thanks.
