Full Version: Ubuntu 14.10 HDMI handshake and cursor issues
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I'm having a HDMI handshake issue when changing input on my AVR to my Chromebox (running Ubuntu 14.10 + Kodi set to autostart) - I get blank screen which occasionally shows a fuzzy white image and I can sometimes hear crackling noises. I've had similar problems with Windows based machines connected to my AVR.

I know it's not the best, but I can suspend the Chromebox and then wake which forces the HDMI handshake again, which always works, not exactly slick though. The other problem with doing this is that a cursor sometimes appears in the middle of the screen (not the Kodi cursor) which is extremely irritating.

So, does anyone have any tips for fixing either the HDMI handshake issue OR removing the cursor on resume/wake?

Thanks in advance
Just an update on this, I've since changed to Kodibuntu and the problem continues.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to rectify this?
