RE: [Linux] Dualscreen : XBMC on secondary screen AND normal Ubuntu on primary screen - zalaam - 2013-01-03 Ah, thanx fritsch. Then i'm off to compile it from source, hopefully without to much problems but I bet this isn't my last post in this thread RE: [Linux] Dualscreen : XBMC on secondary screen AND normal Ubuntu on primary screen - fritsch - 2013-01-03 @zalaam: There are some PKGBUILDS out there that package this version of xbmc. You can join #xbmc-xvba and ask wip, as he maintains this build. RE: [Linux] Dualscreen : XBMC on secondary screen AND normal Ubuntu on primary screen - zalaam - 2013-01-06 Switched to linux mint and installed xbmc-git, works perfect! You can even use the screen 1 while xbmc running on screen 2 without xbmc minimizing! This isn't possible in windows afaik ... Thank you fritsch and FernetMenta RE: [Linux] Dualscreen : XBMC on secondary screen AND normal Ubuntu on primary screen - sberniz - 2014-03-13 @mosroy , Thanks for your tutorial, i might try it specially to disable compiz. I have a old Video card, which has 3d acceleration, but very poor one. I tried 100 ways , different linux distribution, and xbmc video is very slow when i run it. I was wondering, if you know a way to download or install xbmc without the 3d acceleration. vlc, and mythtv works just fiine with my video card. but xbmc is superslow or it simply doesn't load. I currently have ubutnu 10.04. Please let me know if there is something that can be done Thanks :-) RE: [Linux] Dualscreen : XBMC on secondary screen AND normal Ubuntu on primary screen - wsnipex - 2014-03-13 there is no way to run xbmc without 3d acceleration. RE: [Linux] Dualscreen : XBMC on secondary screen AND normal Ubuntu on primary screen - sberniz - 2014-03-13 @wsnipex,, thanks for your answer, not even old versions? i read something about compiling from source without 3d, but anyway. if it is no\t possible, what is a good alternative? thanks. RE: [Linux] Dualscreen : XBMC on secondary screen AND normal Ubuntu on primary screen - wsnipex - 2014-03-14 Xbmcs 3D(OpenGL) GUI is a legacy from the xbox days, where everything was a "game". Changing this to a more modern 2d windowing layer is a huge undertaking.

You see desktop environments like Unity using 3D as well.

Yes, i understand it is an undertaking, but i do not really care how the theme looks, i just want a working system. mythtv does it, but is really a pain to configure. xbmc is easier to configure..

Changing this to a more modern 2d windowing layer is a huge undertaking. sure, everything has pros and cons. If you have rather(very) old hardware the 3d requirement is a big con though. |
