Hi,
I recently purchased a Model B+ pi and a PiTFT (the fully assembled resistive model) and have been desperately trying to get it to work. I am up to the first reboot in the installation (after gathering and compiling the .deb files and removing the framebuffer) But, every time I boot the Pi I get no hot plug events. Meaning I can't type on my keyboard or even SSH into the system to look at logs and such. I have no idea where to start to look to fix these problems. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Formatting.
PiTFT installation error: no hotplug events

Re: PiTFT installation error: no hotplug events
Try using the easy-install version for the B+ linked from this page in the tutorial:

There are so many ways for kernel modifications to go wonky that it's easier to try a known-good baseline.

Okay, I'm going to use a fresh debian image and run the install script. Should I update the image before running the script?adafruit_support_mike wrote:Try using the easy-install version for the B+ linked from this page in the tutorial:

I'd suggest using the preconfigured image linked from the tutorial, as mentioned above.
Once you've written that to the SD card, do an update right after finishing raspi-config.
