Leaving Kofi on the "right" screen before turning off the tv is a workaround, not a solution, isn't it? There should not be a wrong way to turn off your tv.

What's in your config.txt?

So adding "device_tree_overlay=overlays/enable-spi-overlay.dtb" to config.txt does not work?

That ought to still work, but there is also a new way: add "device_tree_param=spi=on" instead.
If neither of those work, please post the output of 'vcdbg log msg'.

Thanks. I tried "device_tree_param=spi=on" first and it worked. I thought that there won't be needed any manual changes to config.txt now.
Not sure what improvements device tree support brings, but in terms of usablility this feels like a step backwards to me.

I'm sorry, but that is never going to be the case, for the reason that the Pi can't know what its pins are being used for. Sometimes you want the pins to be used for one of the built-in interfaces, and sometimes you need them for GPIO. As a result there has to be a way to give it that information. That mechanism used to be a combination of kernel CONFIG symbols and module blacklisting, and now it is device tree, which I think is an improvement because the changes can all be done through config.txt.

This addon would be a perfect place. Personally I don't have problems in editing config.txt with nano, but I'm sure lots of people will be happy if they get a way to enable overlays via GUI.

Hi Millhouse,
After update from #1219 to #1220 lircd stopped working. Tried "irw" from SSH but there wasn't any response too. I think it's related with "No longer load lirc_rpi module by default" but don't know how to configure it. Can you give me any directions?
