If you have a windows machine, download putty and install, in the ip box, enter the ip of your htpc and press ok.

Use the login/psw you entered when you installed xbmc-live.

write:

sudo nano /home/USER/.xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml (change "USER" to whatever you named it at installation, default: xbmc)

then you will be able to edit the file.

control-x to exit, press y then enter to save.

sudo stop xbmc-live (to stop xbmc)
sudo start xbmc-live (to start xbmc again)


if you don't have a windows machine, i think you can use some ctrl-alt-F (F1 F2 F3... F12) function to get up the command line. then just do everything after "write:".

Don't use sudo for editing guisettings.xml.

Well yeah you'll never get the LCD option in the gui without changing the code and recompiling.

So you're saying that editing guisettings.xml won't change anything without recompiling?
What/how should I recompile?

It will enable the option for LCD support, but you just wont be able to turn it on/off inside xbmc. So you don't need to recompile if you just want to enable it and leave it on.
