It's responsible of loading the kernel modules and starting the device. Post-install script of ti-omap3-sgx-bin should notify you to start or enable it.

It was not started. Now the problem is gone. I probably missed the message when installing the packages all at once.

Thanks for your help.

I would love to have the cam button as ESC. Maybe half press as esc and long press as alt?

ESC is already at Fn+Backspace

Let's do it this way, I'll leave the cam button alone and put instructions/examples to the future wiki about how to make it do whatever, unless there are people who actually want the behavior I suggested to be there by default. So speak up please.

Logic with that button is that if you assign something to half press, full press will be half press + full press since half press is on the whole time you are pressing the button. To get single key out of the full press we need to leave half press null.

My point is that it would be nice to have esc as a single keypress

I edited my previous post.

So, your suggestion would become esc and esc+alt on cam button. I feel Alt is more important than esc in there, and then there's the fact that many people have gotten used to esc being in modifier + backspace.

No, U-Boot or Flasher/0xFFFF only.

If you crank the cpu to nearly twice the speed it was certified (boiling the soc, on a device which is becoming a wanted rarity no-one want's to break) then sure, software tends to run faster. On the other hand, "real" installation is real, no overhead of another system and you have a choice to run as lightweight userspace you want.
