Hi there
today I updated to current nvidia binary driver 295.40 (from 295.33) and using that driver xbmc starts but doesn't display anything. I can navigate the menu (I can hear the clicks when navigating) but screen stays dark. I tried several tricks such as deleting the guisettings.xml in case there were some broken config settings but without success and I can find no error messages at all, neither in XBMC's logfile nor in system logs. Interestingly I can start an X-Session without any problems, so I guess it's related somehow to XBMC itself. Now I reverted back to driver 295.33 and all is fine again.
System:
Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.4 with kernel 2.6.38-14
GPU: GeForce 6150 LE
Display: Flatscreen connected via HDMI
XBMC 11.0 Git:Unknown from ppa.launchpad.net/alexandr-surkov/xbmc/ubuntu (installation date should have been 2012-03-24)
XBMC starts as standalone app from console without X and there were several reboots after installation of driver.
If you need more info or a logfile please tell me.
EDIT: just saw that kernel driver 295.40 doesn't depend on "agpgart" anymore while 295.33 does. Probably that's an important one?
