Hello all!

Im really new to this whole Linux thing so if I say something wrong please correct me.

Im having trouble entering the terminal on my XBMC box. By pressing ctrl+alt+f1-f6, it will bring me to a blank black screen.

I have already gone through and sshed into the box and messed around with the /etc/default/grub file, setting the correct resolutions to my TV which is 1920x1080@24 or @60 also tried resolution for 720p

Here is what my grub file looks like

Code:
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update

# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

GRUB_DEFAULT=0

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`

#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash xbmc=autostart,nodiskmount loglevel=0"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)

#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# The resolution used on graphical terminal

# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE

# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'

#GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080@24

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux

#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries

#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true"

# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start

#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"

# Defaults from XBMC Installation

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash xbmc=autostart,nodiskmount loglevel=0 video=vesafb"

GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080@24

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768@24

By commenting the below out

Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash xbmc=autostart,nodiskmount

XBMC will boot into a terminal

Im at a loss of what to do next! Can anyone help

also tried GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080@24 this didnt work either
