Both “sudo apt-get upgrade” and the XFCE updates offered through the desktop environment will kill something that makes the screen go black after the next reboot and no way to get it back on, other than reflash the chip and restart the software mod.

Another important issue is that the keyboard doesn’t fully work. And so far, despite all the instructions in the forum, I haven’t got it to work either. I found instructions and a keymap for “loadkeys”, but that doesn’t seem to work in the “X” environment.

Maybe it’s time that NTC releases a new PocketChip OS image that is more suited for other resolutions.

Here’s a bezel for the 5in display 😉

Can that be installed separately or is it only available as part of the PocketC.H.I.P. image?

I’d started following the screen hack but got lost after awhile. This makes it an approachable project for me.
