Hello guys!
I am not very familiar with linux, so I apologize in advance if my question may result silly..
I just made an installation of XBMC Live from the bootable CD (XBMC 9.11 live repack) on my pc and got XBMC working, configured the network settings and audio settings, but I can't get the video card working properly.
The GUI runs perfectly, but as soon as I start watching a film (no matter if avi, mkv, HD or SD) I can hear the sound but can't view the video.
It shows some blue flickering screens, then only audio and subtitles are displayed.
The size of the blue screen is the same as the video should be, I mean that the video is 2.35:1 and then I see black borders to the top and bottom, but instead of the video there is a blue bar that flickers some times changing the blue tonality for a while, then it disappears.
Anyone had a similar problem?
Is there a way to solve it?
Before you ask, I don't know how to update the display drivers under linux
Thanks in advance
Francesco
