Hi - until recently, I had installed XBMC on a full Ubuntu desktop. Setting and applying nvidia settings (with nvidia-settings) worked there without a problem.

Now I have XBMC live running here (installed following this guide from the wiki), and I don't know how to load nvidia settings. I managed to save the settings I want into a file, but still don't know where to put the command to load the settings (nvidia-settings -l).

I have tried adding the nvidia-settings command to .xsession:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
nvidia-settings -l
/usr/bin/xbmc --standalone
case "$?" in
    0 ) # Quit
        touch /tmp/noRestartXBMC
        break ;;
    64 ) # Shutdown System
        sleep 10 ;;
    65 ) # Warm Reboot
        echo Restarting XBMC ... ;;
    66 ) # Reboot System
        sleep 10 ;;
     * ) ;;
esac

But that does not seem to work - and in addition .xsession seems to be overwritten with the standard upon a reboot...?!

Most, if not all, settings in nvidia-settings can be set in xorg.conf

Though if you must use nvidia-settings you can get around the xbmc quirk by creating/editing ~/.xinitrc with something like this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
nvidia-settings -l
/bin/bash ~/.xsession

I do NOT use live, but a minimal ubuntu image, and I have in my .xinitrc the following, which works:

nvidia-settings --load-config-only

Thanks. After searching around quite a bit it seems that I have found the required keywords to use in my xorg.conf now.
