Well, if it is actually working, aside from the screen (doesn't sound like though) and you have rootsh you can still install stuff from xterm by typing blind, since we have the ctrl-shift-x shortcut. If it happens to automatically connect to the internet makes stuff easier too.

I think I'd do something like this

root
apt-get -y install openssh-server

and then ping my home computer to find out the ip, or just look at the router if it's wlan.
then ssh into the device
