I haven't looked at x49gp lately, and never tested it with newRPL. I know there was a patch a while ago to add grayscale support for x49gp, you should check if your build has it. This could definitely cause a blank screen!
newRPL uses timers more extensively than the stock firmware. I don't remember if x49gp had a complete timer emulation, or just the bare minimum to run the stock firmware.
In any case, if you want to try newrpl, just checkout the source code, download Qt libraries with Qt Creator, open the newrpl-ui.pro project and build it. That will give you a GUI application with a simulated screen, you can save sessions and open them back. It runs way faster than x49gp since it's native code, not an emulator.
Except for the picture of the keys you can actually click on (the newrpl simulator doesn't display keys), it is about the same as using x49gp.
