I have followed these instructions and managed to boot up onto a sdcard and successfully ch-rooted into ubuntu.img by mounting the sdcard.

with this commad via adb

This mounts the sdcard where I can boot up into the distro.

mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard

I also used these commands and the touch screen simply flashes

startx -- tty01 -sharevts -novtswitch

while true; do echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/epd_refresh; sleep 2; done & xterm

I am running a Linux distro that is not ontop of the android system. I can get the screen to flash while on nookmanager, but I just can't figure out a way to display x11 on the screen. I even downloaded the driver through apt-cache. Its a little difficult. I'm certain something can be produced.

I intend in creating a custom script that will do this so that I can boot up anytime into a variety of linux distros on the sdcard

NOTE: I prefer to use the root user

root@localhost:~# startx
