Hi Everbody,

I installed XBMC on Ubuntu 8.04 and every think works fine, but the video output is green.
Sounds works ok. I search on the forum but the only green thread is about ATI cards.

Could it have to do with my xorg.conf?

Code:

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Thanks for your help.

Have kind of the same issue with an Intel 945GM.

When I start a movie the screen goes green.
Stopping the movie and starting it again works just fine!?!

Haven't checked the logs for any errors yet though.

It's probably one of two things. The first possiblity is the video drivers in Hardy (that's what's causing the issues with ATI machines) or the deinterlacer you are using. To check if it's the deinterlacer, simply change the deinterlacing setting to something else, or none and see if that fixes it. If it does, good for you. If it doesn't then I have a feeling you'll have to wait like some of the ATI guys for someone to figure out what's causing the issues in Hardy and certain video cards/drivers.

Thanks,
Harry

I was also having the same issue, I set the interlace handling to auto and it seemed to fix it...
