- Haggy - 2009-07-02 As for the stuck x cursor - this can be fixed by disabling the hardware cursor (have a look here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=348252&postcount=2). X being dead after resume points to some driver issue. Can you have a look at your Xorg.0.log or dmesg after resume. You may pastebin it and show it here. - poserdonut - 2009-07-02 Pete_London Wrote:Had dinner with friends last night and am a hungover little puppy this morning... I'll take in some suggestions and update tonight. I use WinSCP to transfer files. - mulder77de - 2009-07-02 I for myself do it like adding an "exit" after the xbmc call. So, if XBMC crashes, the user get logged out and automatically logged in again, so restarting XBMC. You can even create a startup-script which is run during resume activity, which kills all running XBMC apps (should be one only), so that XBMC gets restarted by default. Works great for me! - Hannes The Hun - 2009-07-02 maybe we should also integrate the BIOS settings from here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=53888 ATM I'm playing around with all the "smoothvideo" stuff and some useful xorg parameters, will post some additional settings when I'm done - pat1975 - 2009-07-02 @Hannes the hun: This is my xorg.conf (thx to haggy) which is running very good on my Zotac ION. A you can see, I have a Sony LCD TV-set (like haggy :-) ) Perhaps you have to edit these modelines to match your TV. Code: root@htpc01:~# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf Patrick - Haggy - 2009-07-02 Those modelines should be brand independent. - Pete_London - 2009-07-02 mulder77de Wrote:I for myself do it like adding an "exit" after the xbmc call.

This would resolve the only issue I'm having which sees XBMC crash to a cursor. Thanks..

As it's all digital these days your tv should just say "invalid mode" or something like that. Fiddling with the values i saw that several times from my sony. If you run these modelines xbmc will pick them accordingly to your files if you enable "adjust refresh rate" in the settings. - luna_s - 2009-07-02 you forgot to add remote install too Code: sudo apt-get install lirc nice guide tho ![]() - poserdonut - 2009-07-02 luna_s Wrote:you forgot to add remote install too Is lirc required for all remotes or can XBMC handle some remotes "out of the box"? - Pete_London - 2009-07-02 My IR MCE remote just works straight out of the box.... I thought I'd mentioned that but will add it if I haven't.... I really don't want this to become a 500 page guide covering things that are extensively covered elsewhere, so it will end up having links to other threads. - Hannes The Hun - 2009-07-02 yeah, especially all things RC fall into the category "customization", makes absolutely no sense to cover this in a quick install guide. integrate a link and just mention that MCE and xbox remote controls work out of the box, requiring an USB IR dongle of course. - poserdonut - 2009-07-02 Pete_London Wrote:My IR MCE remote just works straight out of the box.... I thought I'd mentioned that but will add it if I haven't.... Damn, I got home and hooked in my HFX Vista Remote GP and it doesn't work out of the box. Not a single button works actually, so now I'm trying to figure out what's my first step. ![]() - luna_s - 2009-07-02 odd i've got a mce remote and it didn't, did after i installed lirc tho ![]() keyboard worked just no remote probably something i did heh |
