Also, *never* use /mnt/us as the source of a bind-mount. It's a fuse proxy of the real fs (which lives in /mnt/base-us), and said real FS will go down when doing USBMS anyway, so, bad, bad idea in general.

As you found out, if you need to bind-mount something, do it from /var/local

I was able to replicate this. Thanks!

I used a USB OTG "Y" adapter instead of a hub, powering the keyboard with a separate power supply/battery to avoid extra load on the kindle battery.

Issues:

- the xorg.conf generated doesn't seem to allow hotplugging. need to look into this and try to make something generic. why should it need to be generated on each startup?
- need to package the input modules together with the xorg conf stuff

BTW, I'm planning to use this with the alpine chroot, hopefully running alpine's x or possibly wayland with a drm imx driver.
