Please be sure you already jailbreaked your Kindle DXG (download this file and apply update_jailbreak_0.11.N_dxg_install.bin first, before and separate from the contrast update). Also, the update only works on the Kindle DX Graphite. If you have some other DX I could try to make a package but I wouldn't be able to test it.

Dear Isothem,

Thanks a lot for the info. But a little query as Jailbreaking is new for me.

I am accessing 3G services of Amazon. So after jail breaking will the 3G be working on my Kindle DXG ? Can I reverse back to original software anytime ?

Expecting your expert opinion on this.

jailbreaking is a tiny change.
To be accurate it´s not really ¨jailbreaking¨ in the phone sense.
It´s actually ¨Rooting¨.

Yes it will still work on 3g as this is totally unrelated.
(I have a dx, with 3g and have done this)

Yes you can rollback the change at any time. But I doubt you will want to.

Good evening. I've just installed and it does nothing... Update succesfully, press and hold Shift+Up (in the fiveway), nothing, Shift+Down nothing, Shift+Press fiveway nothing. My DXG is in 2.5.8.
Thank you for your help

Edit: ok, just for PDF. I'm sorry...

I am seeing much the same lack of behaviour. Will dig further when I get a bit more time.
I DID check the contrast binary was "somewhere" in the path.

And even ran it manually, and checked the waitforkey was 41 1 etc...

But manually pushing values in the relevant /proc seemed to have no effect also...

Will check my facts.

I just tried uninstalling, verifying everything was removed, and then reinstalling, but it works here on this DXG.

twobob: You should get an inverted screen by running this command:
Code:
echo "19 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0" > /proc/eink_fb/update_display
If you don't, it seems the new driver didn't get applied. Please check the size of /lib/modules/2.6.22.19-lab126/kernel/drivers/video/eink/hal/eink_fb_hal.ko which should be 66431 (original is 65936).

Sorry, the test to invert the screen should have been:
Code:
echo "99 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0" >/proc/eink_fb/update_display
echo "18 0" >/proc/eink_fb/update_display
Some other test commands:
Code:
ps auwx | grep contrast
ls -l `find /etc -name *contrast`
ls -l /usr/sbin/contrast
md5sum `find /lib/modules/2.6.22.19-lab126/kernel/drivers/video/eink`
Note that I didn't test compatibility with any hotkey launchers. If those aren't able to share access to the keyboard, it might not work.

Thanks for the report. Do you have the result of the other test commands? In case someone tries to install the package without KUAL.
Code:
ps auwx | grep contrast
ls -l `find /etc -name *contrast`
ls -l /usr/sbin/contrast
md5sum `find /lib/modules/2.6.22.19-lab126/kernel/drivers/video/eink`

wait...

It's working...

For sure.

I pressed SHIFT + UP on the 5 way and the contrast swapped from inversion to regular...

Then I repeated the process (just like I would have expected it to work, and per your directions... and now it seems to be working???)

No explanation as to why I'm afraid.

I see the changes now and they are noticeable, as is the little tell-tale flash as the contrast changes..

I wonder why it didn't work before? Could it need "initialising" in some way?
perhaps that why you never noticed, since obviously yours is always in that initialised state?

That's all I can think of.

I'll reboot and try again.
