Hello all,
I installed a copy of XBMC Live (10.1 DHARMA) on my brand new Asus 1215N from a USB flash drive (but installed to the netbook HD)
http://xbmc.org/download/
The installation appeared to go perfectly. The XBMC logo appears, but then it kicks me to the command terminal.
Running the startx command gives me the following:
Searching around for people with a similar issue, it felt like it might have been an NVIDIA driver issue.
But I've tried nearly everything I can think of including...
and
But I get the same result.
I've been Googling around for hours trying to get a lead on what the issue might be. It seems that Ubuntu has an issue with Optimus enabled graphics displays? Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
The other thing to note is that the display flickers every now and then when booted into XBMC. I've discovered a few other posts where people describe this same issue, with the same error messages, but nobody seems to have a concrete answer as to what the issue might be.
Taking a look at the end of the /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log ...
Everything up to that point seems to be fine in the log.
If anyone out there has an Asus 12XX with XBMC Live successfully running on it, if you could post and let me know, that would be a great help.
I'm basically just trying to find out if it's even possible, or if I'm just tearing my hair out for nothing.
