I have no doubt the network connection is working fine. Otherwise, there'd be no telnet connection.
The error presented about setting the screensaver is irrelevant. Rather, there is no meaningful error message. I guess it's stuck trying to connect, which indicates problems with the firewall, but I'm not entirely sure. |

You need to CONFIRM that you can actually connect to your PC's 5900 port from something and that :0 or :1 is the correct display. Do you have a laptop as well as a PC? run a vncviewer one of them and a sever on the one you wish to connect to. Then you can be certain that it works in an environment you know. This is a "configuration error" as opposed to "application fail". I'm much more refreshed now after my mighty 3 hours sleep... sigh... |

Alright, I've tried the other suggestions and am getting the following output:
[root@kindle root]# ./kvncviewer.sh 192.168.1.1:2 -sh: ./kvncviewer.sh: not found [root@kindle root]# ./kvncviewer.sh 192.168.1.1:1 -sh: ./kvncviewer.sh: not found [root@kindle root]# ./kvncviewer.sh 192.168.1.1:0 -sh: ./kvncviewer.sh: not found [root@kindle root]# I get the same messages for the commands related to passwords too. Also, here are my current VNC settings: I have a question. Have downloaded the correct kindlevncviewer folder to the correct place on my kindle? When one unzips the vnc hack, one sees a folder named kindlevncviewer. INSIDE that folder is yet another folder named kindlevncviewer. I have the second folder downloaded to the usb root directory of my DX. (I previously had the other one in my root directory and was getting a "...mnt/us..." something error.) |

Like I said before.
Stop trying to run the script And look inside it run the commands individually. you are basically "operating blind" at this point - and so are we. I already typed what the various command in that script "do" so Ill just show me doing them... so just turn OFF your password protection for now. (it's not like anyone is gonna connect without your knowledge inside your internal network, add that later then) and be CERTAIN from the kindle that 192.168.1.1 IS your PC port 5901 implies :1 IIRC so you would [root@kindle root]# cd /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/ [root@kindle kindlevncviewer]# ./kindlevncviewer -config ./config.lua 192.168.1.1:1 no script, just that. if that fails then your FIREWALL is stopping the connection. or the IP is wrong. or you have the port setup incorrectly... did you try 5900 and :0 like I suggested? at which point you would [root@kindle kindlevncviewer]# ./kindlevncviewer -config ./config.lua 192.168.1.1:0 Last edited by twobob; 03-24-2013 at 09:53 PM. |

Hi Mr. Hawhill and Mr. Twobob
Thank you for your replies. The onyx boox m92 is the one I have. (Actually I just bought it and it's on its way to my home) The specs are: Display 9.7" E Ink® Vizplex® PEARL EPD display Contrast Ratio 12:1 Gray Levels 16-shade Screen Resolution 1200 x 825 External memory slot SD (SDHC) Flash memory eMMC 4GB Formats of audio MP3, WAV Processor Freescale i.MX508 800MHz I believe the OS is Lynux. Do you think the whole vnc thing would work on this thing? Do you think I can use the whole kindle version of jailbreaking kit on this Lynux? The reason I bought this instead of Kindle is that Kindle new lines are all small in regard to screen size. But if I ever have to do some of works such as coding shell for Lynux by myself.. Not sure if I can ever figure that out by myself.. TT Windows 8 doesn't allow VNC server to be run?? I just bought the whole PC with W8 like less than two weeks ago... If I ever install Lynux say Ubuntu? on my D drive then from there would I be able to use VNC viewer? I am really sorry for my little knowledge on computer. Thank you |

Windows 8 is "mega fail". I wouldn't run Window 8 if you held me down and beat me.
Windows 7 would be fine. Linux would be fine. Processor Freescale i.MX508 800MHz is fine. We don't have your device.... Only one way to find out!!! try it!! |

I was just rereading your post. The resolution is quite similar. 1200 X 825 while the Kindle DX is 1200 X 824. There is just 1 pixcel different... which I don't know is a lot or nothing to be worried... SO the things in common are Lynux OS Freescale CPU... does the model or version of it matter ? Things slightly different are Resolution Just one Pixel I don't know what "4 bit displays" means in here.. I searched for what bit displays of Kindle but couldnt find it. Since I have little confidence in customizing of some codes by myself, I am now thinking whether I should return the Onyx boox that is soon to be arrived... If I return it I have to do so in unused condition, but then again I might not even able to do the things on Windows 8... My OS shows it's Windows 8.. It doesn't show any other information. maybe I can downgrade to W7 if I pay for it... Sigh.... Thank you for reading |

I haven't read Hawhills code in a while but I don't think the pixel will make a difference.
If i remember correctly is just estimates the width. Of course it may not work at all anyway. There are no guarantees. I would guess Yes. Regarding Windows 8. It (The Home Edition) locks down your machine to just running thing you buy from the Windows Store (I think) so there is no way on earth I would even have it given to me. Much less run it on my computer. the Freescale cpu should be fine. It's a gamble. Possibly an expensive one. I can't make any promises. But the Windows 8 you can just put in the bin as far as developers are concerned. (and Yes I do own a copy of Visual Studio 2012 that I would need to build windows Metro products, it is still in "the wrapper" and will stay that way forever unless something radically changes in Microsoft's attitude to running code) Last edited by twobob; 03-28-2013 at 01:27 PM. |

Bah. I was just writing a long post about being careful, learning and doing recherche work - and then, just for fun, I googled for "m92 vnc". It looks as if everything is there - just head over to the right forums (and the wiki) for the device. Here at Mobileread. Not that they will be eager to do hand-holding for an installation of Windows 7, though.

Twobob,
I solve the issue! Here is what I needed to do: 1) Make sure the correct kindlevncviewer folder (i.e. the "inner" folder with this name) was downloaded to my DX's usb root drive 2) Make sure that my anti-virus allowed Tightvnc to access all ports (instead of just 5900/5901. 3) Turn the password off on TightVNC. (I could have sworn that I turned this off earlier, but I probably forgot to apply the change.) 4) Use the ... 192.168.2.1:0.. (not :1) code in puttytel when I try to tunnel into the DX. So, my problems thus far have been because I stupidly did not do all four these things simultaneously. Thanks for help! Ben Quote:

Thank you for your reply. I see.. it's a gamble And found out my Windows 8 is Home Edition... The PC manufacturer doesnt support the downgrade to 7 so I am now thinking of doing it by myself. My Hardware specs are intel corei7, 16RAM so it should work but seems like I need to get the drivers for Windows 7? And in regard with Kindle DX, maybe I should get this one that seems only available eBay as the Amazon is not manufacturing this model any longer. So first I try to hack the Onyx and if I fail then I would just simply buy the used Kindle DX. Ahhh VERY LONG WAY to get the e-ink pc monitor for my eyes.. Thank you for reading |
