Committed, with slight changes.

Additionally setting the backlight did not work which I fixed as well.

Note that the current LoS-Panel firmware (0.11) has a few problems
related to key input:

   1. Backlight turns off if a key is pressed.
   2. LoS-Panel may miss some screen changes if a key is pressed too
      long (especially if using the menu). You may need to set
      "RefreshDisplay" option in LCDd.conf.
   3. Sometimes key presses are not detected.
