Hello,
I have the old resistive PiTFT and it, well, sorta works.
I've used the install script and the console is indeed show, the desktop however is missing, the screen stays black.
The image is the latest (as of 18. November 2014) Raspbian with I²C and SPI turned on in raspi-config.
Any help?
PiTFT & script: console yes, X no

I've run the script from http://adafru.it/pitftsh, nothing more
It looks though like the script does that, doesn't it?
Edit: checked it out, my ~/.profile has the line export FRAMEBUFER=/dev/fb1

Ok, now I've installed the image from https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pit ... sy-install and have the same situation: boot console appears. Afterwards, the screen is black with one static cursor and no X whatsoever. What to do to make the screen work with the Adafruit-provided image? That is, I've used raspi-config to tell it to boot to GUI. Logging in and typing startx manually is impossible as I want to make a keyboard-less device.

You can add the `startx` command above to the end of /etc/rc.local and it will run as part of the standard boot process.
