Hi cheers for the guide.
i've pretty much managed to adapt and use your guide to setup xbmc with intel G45 (DG45FC MB).
bypassed envy and nvidia setup section - used sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel instead.
encounted couple of issues :-
1. [unresolved] when i use "startx -- -br" i get black screen with x curser but xbmc does not load and stays on black screen. If i use just "startx" i get the expected grey screen with curser and xbmc loads fine. anyone any thoughts?
2. [unresolved but havn't looked into it yet] - sound works using aplay - but no sound in xbmc - plus alsamixer settings are not remembered on reboot - sure they are simple issues though.
3. [solved] when you drop back in to console (ctrl-alt-f2) the monitor registers as out of range or blank. Was frame buffer ubuntu bug - followed instructions at bottom of this link which finally sorted it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...bug/269457
