It took me like 5 - 10 mins to checkout SVN(on 12Mbit dsl), try removing the XBMC folder and try checking out again.

I did a CTL-C and went to the ./configure step after cd XBMC. But it gave a message that ./configure was not found. Now when I try to run the svn checkout step again it says Workng copy 'XBMC' locked. Run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks. Not sure how to fix this.

as it could be different, using different TVs, Monitors.
I suggest using
Option "FlatPanelProperties" "Scaling = Native"
With this option the Nvidia driver can change the refresh rates properly, reported by your TVs EDID. All you need to do is use the autorefresh rate function in XBMC. (Of course Dynamictwinview should be disabled)
CrashX Wrote:Maybe we should add this to the guide as well:
We can now monitor temperature readings from lm-sensors by modifying the advancedsettings.xml.
<advancedsettings>
<gputempcommand>echo "$(nvidia-settings -tq gpuCoreTemp) C"</gputempcommand>
<cputempcommand>echo "$(sensors -u | grep "temp2_input"| awk '{print $2 }' |awk '{printf("%d\n",$1 + 0.5);}') C"</cputempcommand>
</advancedsettings>
See http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=43621 for details:

rodercot Wrote:Does this get added to the monitor section or device section or does it matter. I could not find that option in the Nvidia manual is why I am asking.
Thanks,

Did you run sensors-detect after apt-get installed lm-sensors?
And... I think it's required a recent version 17xxx for sure...

rodercot Wrote:Are you on the most current SVN. How is it?
atlas1999 Wrote:That did the trick. Thanks! Got through all the steps but now autoboot and autostart isn't working. It just comes up to the login prompt. Also it is showing that "Starting remote control daemon : LIRC" fails. Not sure why that would be. I'm using a Windows MCE remote.
Is there a log or something I should check to see why xbmc isn't automatically starting?
