Same bug, happy to test future versions, will look at github, too
Quote:
Code:
[root@kindle kvncviewer]# ./luajit vncviewer.lua -password ***** 192.168.3.1:5900 could not open input device /dev/input/event2 (possibly harmless) 01/03/2015 11:41:15 VNC server supports protocol version 4.1 (viewer 3.8) 01/03/2015 11:41:15 We have 1 security types to read 01/03/2015 11:41:15 0) Received security type 2 01/03/2015 11:41:15 Selecting security type 2 (0/1 in the list) 01/03/2015 11:41:15 Selected Security Scheme 2 01/03/2015 11:41:15 VNC authentication succeeded 01/03/2015 11:41:15 Desktop name "computer-2" 01/03/2015 11:41:15 Connected to VNC server, using protocol version 3.8 01/03/2015 11:41:15 VNC server default format: 01/03/2015 11:41:15 32 bits per pixel. 01/03/2015 11:41:15 Least significant byte first in each pixel. 01/03/2015 11:41:15 TRUE colour: max red 255 green 255 blue 255, shift red 16 green 8 blue 0 ./luajit: ./ffi/framebuffer_linux.lua:27: attempt to call global 'ioctl' (a nil value) stack traceback: ./ffi/framebuffer_linux.lua:27: in function 'einkUpdateFunc' ./ffi/framebuffer_linux.lua:265: in function 'refresh' vncviewer.lua:99: in function 'cb' ./ffi/eventloop.lua:188: in function 'loop' ./ffi/input_kindle.lua:42: in function 'waitForEvent' vncviewer.lua:315: in main chunk [C]: at 0x0000c368 [root@kindle kvncviewer]# And, as you can see above, I had to specify port 5900. I am running RealVNC server on a Mac. Also, hawhill, first off thanks for your efforts. Second, since I have a device to test on, I might try to take a look at your github repo and see if I can't have a crack at it, though I suspect it's going to be a good bit beyond my abilities. |

Re-install your jailbreak using the most recent JB release (and do a full re-boot afterward, if the JB installation doesn't do that for you). |

Made a few changes to the code, recompiled, and I now have it working on my Kindle DX. I have attached the zipped binary package, as well as a screenshot in action. hawhill, I have submitted a pull request with the changes to you on GitHub. |

Thank you so much! I guess others will be quite happy about this, too. I really felt bad about letting them down, but other things in my life take up all the time, unfortunately. So glad you stepped in!

I haven't been able to run this into my K4 (jailbroken)... it just gets my back to the kindle main page, with the books and so on... Has anybody been able to run it under k4? I'd love to connect it to my phone over wifi...
Thank you Hawhill for your time writing the code! EDIT: I just realised that if I dont set any password for the vnc server it works! Its great! Last edited by J_VM; 04-22-2015 at 10:20 AM. |

Almost working ...
[I'm cross-posting this from another thread that I just realized is really old]
So, I am a newbie to all this and seem to be successful in all the steps until the very last command to fire things up, then things go awry. I installed the files posted on this thread by langelgjm, and followed the instructions I found here: http://www.techhive.com/article/2595...c_display.html I installed the files on the Kindle DX in the root directory in a folder call "kvncviewer" Following the steps in the link above, everything goes as expected, till I enter the last command. I am in this directory: [root@kindle root] I enter the command: /mnt/us/kvncviewer/kvncviewer.sh 192.168.2.1:1 & and get this message: stdin:1: unexpected symbol near '/' I'm soooo close (I think) .... Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this or what I have done incorrectly? Please keep in mind I am not skilled in any of this and am just trying to get this working so my wife, who suffered a concussion and can't look at a standard monitor, can read her email again. Thanks! |

hi hawhill, I found that after I changed to use this new gen kvncviewer instead, my kindle dxg always do full screen refresh if relatively more screen content was changed (which it was not that much actually). Which config I should change to avoid excessive refresh? Increase -refreshFullAfterPixels or set it to 0?
(I found the old kindlevncviewer is quite visually stable for me as a secondary monitor, just needed to be more patient.... from the vncviewer.lua, I found there are few options: -dither_bw Quote:
-medium -fast Seems don't have much visual or performance differences for me. Please teach me how to make use of the new gen kvncviewer for better usage. Thank you very much!! Last edited by e-ghost; 11-21-2015 at 11:42 AM. |

help required

Hi I have a very Little experience with programming, can you please tell me how I can install this extension on a Kindle paperwhite three. I would really like to use my kindle paperwhite as a display to avoid headaches and eyestrain. My pw3 is jailbroken and I have USB networking installed. I just cannot work out how to install this extension using my Mac. Any help will be appreciated |

That is an entry to be put on the command line.
(and it probably ends with: '&' as the last character on the line) It has been a long time since I read the directions for this, but I think people where using ssh to access the command line. Probably because it was already installed as a requirement (it is included in USBnetworking). |
