80 views and nobody has any ideas?
Looks like a huge oversight. I've gone back to Retropie for now. Too hard trying to compile stuff or even fiddle with it through SSH. The latency gets high and I get disconnected a lot. Don't want to run Cat-5 through the living room and kitchen all the time...
See y'all later. Have a blessed day.
More detail, when I exit ES using F4, the Pi is still up, I can SSH in, Http Manager works, Samba shares all work. I can use Manager to start emulationstation again. I just can't get a terminal on my composite display. I tried plugging my HDMI display to the Pi and there's no terminal there (or anything) either.
Previously, it would stay on the splash screen when I exited emulationstation, so I disabled the splash screen. Now I see a blank screen. I do see some ouput on my display when I perform the procedure ALT-PRINT SCREEN - R-E-I-S-U-B
I have followed the instructions here:

along with all permutations and variations and incantations thereof.
F4 then Alt-F2
Alt-F2 then F4

Alt-F2 then Ctl-Alt-F4
Alt-F4 then Ctl-Alt-F2
F2 then Ctl-Alt-F4
F4 then Ctl-Alt-F2
Ctl-Alt-F2 then Ctl-Alt-F4
Ctl-Alt-F4 then Ctl-Alt-F2

Was this removed? Sure is handy to just make changes / get around with simply a keyboard. No network needed. I searched high and low and the two pertinent threads went locked and unanswered.
