Finally after a whole lot of reading I changed my xorg.conf so that my Acer AT-3705MGW lcdtv shows in 1080P.

The problem I now have, is that X is starting fine in 1080P mode, I can see a black screen and can move the mouse, but XBMC isn't starting after that.

If I look in xbmc-xbmc.log, the last line in it is:

Code:
10:11:09 T:3051612000 M:1587445760   DEBUG: LoadCalibration - Ignoring desktop r
esolution "1920x1080 @ 50.00Hz (Full Screen)" that differs from current "1920x10
80 @ 57.00Hz (Full Screen)"

So it appears that it tries to load a wrong refresh rate, but I can't figure out how to change this. Apparantly, my TV only supports 1080P in 57 Hz (and also needs manual configs for this)

See below the relevant loggings (xorg.conf / Xorg.0.log/xbmc-xbmc.log).


Relevant changes in xorg.conf are here:
Code:

Xorg.0.log (seems ok to me):

xrandr and xbmc-xrandr

And finally xbmc-xbmc.log:

Thanks !
Please dont truncate the logs.
Full logs of both Xorg and XBMC would be great.
Ok, sorry for that, I've updated the startpost to reflect all full logs, and also inserted xrandr and xbmc-xrandr query results.
Haven´t seen this issue before.

Seeing it stops at resolution setup, could you remove the ~/.xbmc (backup data incase you dont want to loose) so there isnt any trailing weirdness from configs.

Also could you provide a log of
xset q
and
glxinfo (might need to install mesa-utils)

Cheers,
Tobias
FIXED!

Removing the ~/.xbmc did the trick.

If you need any more logging please let me know, for now i'm happy.

Thanks mate
No that won´t be necessary, great to see that it got fixed.

Cheers,
Tobias
I've been working on this single issue for over 15 hours in total, and you solve it in 5 minutes. I should have posted earlier maybe, but now at least my linux knowledge is gotten a whole lot better...Nerd

Hehe Smile It was a lucky guess tbh, but Occam's razor usually applies
