Hi all!
I have the same problem as buzzer with pm3.hd skin locking out the other skins(Aeon,Mediastream).
Have uninstalled and installed xbmc (latest svn)several times, same problem all the time.

Hi,
I think it must be related to the TV. I don't have this problem at all. New HD TV.
I have seen other threads about forcing the resolution etc. e.g. creating a edid file and load that in xorg. I really know nothing about it since it worked from scratch for me.

I've gone through this howto. It's great. I want to try this and hope it will work for me (zotac 9300 itx + E5300) 'cause I couldn't get my pc work after a few days pain. Before that I want to make sure that all these are on Ubuntu 9.04 desktop x86 instead of x64, right?

Thank vikjon. I'm getting closer following this guide. My setup is zotac 9300 itx with hdmi connected to tv and vga to lcd monitor (primary, I think). I just can't get my tv work without connecting the lcd monitor.
After running xbmc the first time on the lcd monitor, I set up dual monitor in "separate x screen" mode and start xbmc using "XBMC_HOME=/usr/share/xbmc SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_HEAD=1 /usr/bin/xbmc". xbmc can play video (no sound) on my tv. I skipped the xorg fixes part as it created other problems.
Now, my problem is the hdmi audio, no sound at all. I have tried hdmi, plug:hdmi, plughw:0,3 for audio device. What am I missing? (I already tested the connections in XP and hdmi audio worked.) Any other tools for troubleshooting? Please help.
Edit: I forgot to set the user and password as xbmc/xbmc during installation. Then, I adduser afterward and did the policy kit section as well. But I couldn't set the password to xbmc as it's shorter than 6. Does the user 'xbmc' and password 'xbmc' matter? Can it be run as different user? Thanks.
