well i have posted this topic in the xbmclive section but have not received any help recently. since this is more of a linux problem i am gonna hope someone here knows. I have followed the help from NismoC32 on this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=43024&page=2
My problem is that when i hook my system to the tv i get a picture that scrolls or flickers once it gets to the main dashboard screen. I have tried all the resolutions configurations i can all lead to the same result. it is an intel board with the GMA950 graphics on board. I am attempting to connect to the tv via the s-video connection on my mobo.
while working on it after i got the image up on the tv screen to do its dance, i was able to navigate to the cml, from there i brought up the xorg.log i noticed that it mentioned that all those added Options such as "TVStandard" all failed to load. Also from what i could make out the graphics drivers are version 1.7.4
also whenever i make a new xorg.conf file, i have tried many, upon boot up after the loading screen but before the dashboard it seems to load drivers, or something comes up like a log, then it tries to initiate "800x600" and "640x480" both fail, then it says "screen initialization failed." then i get the dancing dashboard image on the tv.
i am at a loss here, seems like since i am getting an image on the tv, albeit a bad one, that it is something driver related, especially since, from what i can make of it, it is such an old driver. I have found new ones at these two links:
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/index.html
and
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepi....1-1ubuntu10.3
But i have no clue how to get those incorporated with the live install on my harddrive? Everything i have read talks about ati and nvidia. Please need help! I feel like i am at a dead end now with this driver issue. I am learning linux as i go...
Also do any of those Options that NismoC32 suggested in the thread above work specifically for nvidia/ are there intel versions of those commands that i need? as you can all tell i am new to linux...
