I did a netboot install of 8.04 - at the time the only "package" I installed was the openssh. Then I installed xfce "after the fact". When I try and start XBMC, it complains that I don't have hardware acceleration.
I played with the nvidia drivers (nvidia-glx-legacy, nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new) with no success. I did get the nvidia-glx to load (according to lsmod, but xbmc still complained about no hardware acceleration.
andrereis Wrote:What hardware, the Broadcom card or something NVidia-related?I think the Broadcom is OK, at least according to dmesg (although I see a CDisconnect right after the connect). My issue seems to be solely with the nvidia drivers...
andrereis Wrote:What are you trying to compile here, when this error occurs? Broadcom module, nvidia module?
I had tried installing the nvidia-190 drivers, and compiling the module in /usr/src/nvidia-190.68(? / recalling from memory). The error is received when trying to do a "make module"
While I had success compiling the CrystalHD source according the guide posted elsewhere, I'm going to start over - Does anyone have some sort of guide to a base install of Ubuntu 8.04 on a ATV via netboot? (I've 'googled' it..., no / poor results).
Or at least a guide to getting the nvidia stuff setup after a netboot install...
