started with this:
Boot revo, hit ESC and select XBMC - SAFE MODE
login
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot
sudo apt-get install xbmc
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo reboot
Finished with this:
sudo apt-get remove xbmc-live
sudo nvidia-installer --update -a -s -f
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc-live
sudo reboot
wait a bit after nvidia, it takes a while.

Hi all, just a quick question that I didn't feel needed its own thread. ( I have a revo) What are the benefits of installing xbmc live as opposed to just installing xbmc over top of windows7? Is it performance or just preference?
I want to be able to power up my revo and start up windows, and then automatically start up xbmc, but this way I could have the ability to play snes emulators, and age of empires 2 and such.
Just curious as I didn't see the actual benefits of doing this listed anywhere

Got myself an Acer 1600 yesterday second hand and installed xbmc live 10.0 and have everything working brilliantly... on VGA.
When i use the HDMI output into my HDMI 27inch LG tv which works on 720p with my blu ray player, xbox and playstation3, the revo will only output a max resolution of 480p which no option in the settings to go any higher.
Any suggestions?
