For those with the Chromebox CB1-020no and running Ubuntu or other Linux dist.
Do you have overscan problems like i do?
My Panasonic TX-P50VT30Y does not have the tools to fix this.
It has to be done in the OS. Tried this:
xrandr --output HDMI1 --transform 1.05,0,-35,0,1.05,-19,0,0,1
and it helped. and fiddled with those numbers to get the best result. But its not prefekt.
The bar in the top is to wide to show the clock for example.
Maybe there are some tools within the latest Intel drivers that can help.
Ubuntu 14.04 recognizes the TV as a 32" panasonic...
Pooking arround with google gave this issue a long history.
But nobody seems to have a good solution, or i did not find it yet....
I will get back here if i find the solution.

i haven't tried an apple keyboard with the chromebox but it could be that it's defaulting to the media keys. have you tried fn+ctrl+alt+f2?

Updated the script to OpenELEC 4.2.0 stable
Updated wiki with better suspend/resume script which should fix any issues with no audio and/or corrupted video upon resume from suspend.

Having problems booting without a keyboard or mouse. I'm running a standalone with just Ubuntu 14.04, as a small server and XBMC frontend for the TV, but it always get stuck at the grub boot screen whenever I don't have a keyboard attached. If I attach a keyboard it boots fine without the grub menu appearing.
I've set GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=0 but still it doesn't stop grub from appearing and stopping the boot.
I had the same setup on an Intel NUC without any keyboard attached and grub never appeared. Just wonder if there's something in the custom chromebox BIOS that is causing this. It's a asus chromebox plugged into the TV with onyl an infra red receiver and HDMI connected.
