You have to adjust the config paths, of course:

OE: /storage/.config/xorg.conf
xbmcbuntu: /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Edid path:
OE: /storage/.config/edid.bin
xbmcbuntu: /etc/X11/edid.bin

or something.

That topic you're refering to seems to be about audio ?
And i really don't know what to do, other than i can see i have to change something a .conf file ?

Follow this guide as you're on Nvidia. Apparently this does not work on Intel iGPU (on which I am working).

@fritsch: that also thus influence my passthrough possibilities?

THANKS!
Jeez, i've been searching for hours trying to find a solution, and BAM, there it is! Big Grin

@stux06: yes - that is exactly the problem. You will force your screen on, but the Audio driver does not use that given edid info and therefore won't handshake any bitstream codecs. I don't have a solution for intel that actually works.

Thats too bad then. Loosing is audio isnt an option. I'll use hibernation in that case in stead of shutdown as default power down action.

Only flaw in my intel setup so far (coming from nvidia ion).

**fritsch** · 2013-08-09, 13:09

I send an OpenELEC user to open a bugreport with the intel guys. I really like to see this fixed.

Hmm, i'm kinda stuck.
I get this :

Quote:
Quote:xbmc@P20-Bio:~$ sudo stop xbmc
stop: Unknown job: xbmc
xbmc@P20-Bio:~$

I tried to continue, but i got a different result in my log.
So i guess i can't skip that step.

What's next ? Tongue

Tried logging into xbmcbuntu and doing the stop xbmc command locally, makes no difference.

I can't see any active jobs ?

xbmc@P20-Bio:~$ jobs
xbmc@P20-Bio:~$ ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
2030 pts/0 00:00:00 bash
2047 pts/0 00:00:00 ps

Just tried the "jobs" command on my own HTPC, running same system, and i get the same result - nothing.

on xbmcbuntu: sudo service lightdm stop

Thanks!

This command results in my putty session stalling?
sudo X -verbose 6 > ~/xlog.txt 2>&1

And then i can't do this command
cat /home/xbmc/xlog.txt | grep ConnectedMonitor |cut -f2 -d\"

I can open another SSH and reboot the pc, and i get a log file with some text.

Do this command from another putty terminal after you have run the first one on the one you are currently logged in.

Dennisreneholm · 2013-08-11, 16:16

Okay, just tried that. And i don't get this message:
ConnectedMonitor
DFP-0
DFP-0

And i isn't in the .log file either, as far as i can see.

Also, i can't stop this command, once i've pressed enter, CTRL+C does nothing
sudo X -verbose 6 > ~/xlog.txt 2>&1

Yeah - you are doing it wrong :-) No idea how to guide you through this. Join #xbmc perhaps someone has a bit of time to take you by the hand.

**wsnipex** · 2013-08-12, 07:10

try:

Code:
X -verbose 6

CTRL-C

then look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Hmm, i'm following the guide you refered to Confused

I'll try that when i get home wsnipex, thanks.

I linked you to the OE forum. You are currently following xbmc wiki.
