PiBox

The Restart->X.org menu option is supposed to call /etc/init.d/S90UI restart. This is necessary because the keyboard doesn't always get recognized on boot. In fact, it almost never gets recognized on boot. But restarting X seems to fix the problem.

With the 3.2.27 kernel this setup worked fine. With the move to 3.10.y the X.org restart gets locked up.

One thing to try: fbdev in Buildroot is 0.4.2. There is a xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.4.tar.bz2 driver available. An update to this driver in Buildroot should be tested.

Note that we're also still waiting for hardware accelerated fbdev for the Pi but that's tracked separately (see RM #128).
