PiBox

Copying the files to /root/.blackbox{rc} didn't seem to do as expected - the background image wasn't displayed, for example. The style file entry in the rc file points to my personal directory, so that's wrong. I need to try changing the HOME portion of the path to ~ and see if that works. Otherwise it may need to point to /root.

That was the problem. However, I now find that bsetbg relies on a variety of other tools to set the background, none of which are available. What is available is feh, but that's not compiled into the rootfs yet.

So I need to enable feh, then use it in my xinitrc and remove use of bsetbg. Alternatively, I could try to use the -app option of bsetbg to use feh. Also alternatively, I could run feh once to set the background and use "sh ~/.fehbg" in the xinitrc. For that last one, see the ArchLinux wiki

None of this can be done until I get the problem with webkitgtk (RM #187) fixed, or disable use of surf (RM #183) for now.

A meaningful configuration for Blackbox has been created on the target board, including use of feh (image browser) to set the background image. I've also updated the root menu to provide more meaningful base options.

The configuration was migrated to src/buildroot/skeleton/root and committed. Surf was disabled on the commit to get around issue #187.

This issue can be closed.
