Kindle UI stays on screen after running shell script on Kindle Paperwhite 3

[josephgeis]

After I run ./kvncviewer.sh ..., the log shows that the connection was successful and that the display is updating, but the user interface still shows on the screen. This seems similar to #9 but instead of bleed-through, there is no VNC display on the screen.

Here's part of the output:

I think it's basically the e-ink refresh and stuff like that that isn't working on the newer model. Currently (and this probably means the next years) I do not really have enough time to work on this old side project of mine - sorry. If someone were to work on this - porting over the latest display code from Koreader would probably fix this issue.
