Full Version: XBMC Live 8.10.2 Beta1 on Eeetop
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I tried to get this beta work on a Eeetop (touchscreen) and failed so far.
I am able to boot the Intel version in decent boot time.
However, the display won’t show nothing, but different ‘clic’ sounds are played when using the keyboard. This makes me think it’s correclty loaded, and just a matter of grapics.
I hope to see it working anytime soon
Tell me how I could help.
I see it may come from the xorg.conf file to fit the specific eeetop resolution.
Here is a version, I've found to run correctly Ubuntu 8.10.
However, for me it doesn't fix the problem, xbmc won't start. "Can't open display error"

There should be a log file for xorg in the /var/log directory. If you take a look in there it should shed some light as to what X is doing, if you can post it on pastebin or similar that would might be helpful also.
Thank you for your help.
I'm a nexbie in linux / xbmc live world ...
I've managed to get command line using safe mode.
However the /var/log directory won't have any xorg file log.
I've only files like auth.log, lpr.log and user.log to name a few.
no further clues on that topic ?
What videocard does the machine use?
Asus EEEtop is referenced as ET1602 and its video card is Intel GMA 950.

I've found in an article that to get Ubuntu 8.10, the video drivers may have to be updated indeed.

Quote:Once assured the connection to the internet, downloaded the new intel video driver (xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.6.1_i386.deb), then save it to your desktop and install with Gdebi (or whatever you want but make sure to resolve dependencies required).
