I´m having serious problems with Dharma Live 10.0 “Dharma” and Shuttle XS35GT (ion2).
Problem is that system freezes if I surf around XBMC´s menus, listen to music or watch a HD-video. And this happens always, so XBMC is pretty much unusable because of this.
When watching SD-video system works just fine, but after coming back to menu, it freezes quite instantly. I´ve tested with different ram-modules and different HDD´s with no difference at all. A little before freeze there appears some distortion and flickering in the display. When system freezes this goes much worse. System doesn´t response to mouse or keyboard or remote. CLI trough SSH works fine.
There´s no errors in xbmc.log normally when this happens. Only when watching HD-videos. However dmesg gives always a same kind of error:
When starting music and freezing happens:
[ 42.539526] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj. <-- this comes when hitting play
[ 76.319169] NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 13, 0003 00000000 0000502d 000002a4 00000000 00000080
when starting hd-video and freezing happens:

when "surfing" menus and freezing happens:
[ 184.718724] NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 13, 0003 00000000 00008597 00000f00 00003800 00000040
I´ve run memtest without error for long time, and Openelec works just fine on this system, so I think there shouldn´t be anything wrong with my hardware.
Well same here on ubuntu lucid 64-bit and mint 9 also 64-bit.
Nothing extraordinary in xbmc.log, however the /var/log/Xorg.0.log gives me that:
Code:

I'm not quite sure if it's dharma related or x-server related. I've tested so far 3 different nvidia drivers an got always same result.
Is there any way to fix this? It makes xbmc unusable.

Hi,
dont know which nvidia driver version dharma-live uses, but i know about issues with early drivers from version 260 and systems with 1GB RAM. thats why openelec has downgraded this time to version 256. this issue should be fixed with with 260.19.21 and later (
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-displ...river.html "Fixed a bug in VDPAU that caused it to attempt allocation of huge blocks of system memory. This regression was introduced in the 260.* driver series.")
Well dunno about Dharma Live. I'm using this one:
https://launchpad.net/~lars-opdenkamp/+a...lter=lucid on Linux Mint LTS.
I'm still using the 195.36.24 driver from the official Ubuntu restricted. The 260.xx.xx driver, however, had the same problem. Nevertheless I've just spotted the 270.18.xx in yaVDR repository. Let me test it.

Then XBMC is gone and takes X-Servver with it. The only thing I can do is to reboot the system via ssh.
Any ideas?

Do you have adjust refreshrate turned on? There's a problem with that on 64 bit nvidia systems.
Indeed, I did, however it was not the problem. I found out that strange behavior was caused by a mismatched BIOS of my Asus M3N78-VM (nvidia 8200 on-board). I even had some issues on erasing blocks while re-flashing the BIOS. XBMC is rock stable since yesterday. Thank you all for your input!

No vertical blank sync on.
Just tested with 2GB RAM, still freezing.
I´ve tested hardware now with Win7 and XBMC. There´s no freezing, only some pixelation on videos on start and after pausing.
Can it still be a hardware-issue, or is there something wrong with XBMC Live tha causes my system to freeze?
I´m getting very tired with this problem. Easy way would be to send the machine to Shuttle for check up, but I have to pay for shipping if there´s nothing wrong with hardware.
