Git rev: master/5745e45b18e5099e94b4d5a73bc97dc6d4cdc91f

Steps:
1. Download the kernel and rootfs from the autobuilder
2. Boot up the image with command: 
   runqemu qemumips vmlinux.bin core-image-sato-sdk-qemumips.ext3
3. Click the Terminal icon to launch the terminal. Can not input anything in the terminal.

This issue also happens when using nfs boot: runqemu nfs vmlinux.bin rootfs

confirm that this works with core-image-minimal. I tested that here.

This issue happens in the application "Terminal" on the sato desktop. So please use a sato or sato-sdk image to test.
Comment 3 Bruce Ashfield 2013-09-04 12:34:33 UTC 
That wasn't my question. I know it happens with sato, the point being that before
uprev each and every qemu machine was booted and logged into.

Something in SDL + qemu + the new kernel is grabbing the inputs and not passing
them to X.

If you boot that same image with nographic, you'll be able to log in. And I want that
confirmed.
Comment 4 Saul Wold 2013-09-04 18:29:58 UTC 
I tried this via a VNC connection which I think removes the SDL, and it still 
failed to have input.  I also tried a 3.8 kernel with the userspace and it 
worked
and a older userspace with the newer kernel (3.10) and it failed, so I am 
thinking more and more kernel related.
Comment 5 Bruce Ashfield 2013-09-05 01:55:49 UTC 
I have the fix. Pull request arriving shortly.
Comment 6 Ke Zou 2013-09-10 08:39:32 UTC 
Terminal input OK in 1.5_M4 rc3 build
Comment 7 Ionut Chisanovici 2013-10-21 13:31:25 UTC 
Verified, terminal app input is ok and working.
