Folks,
I'm having a problem, and I'm stumped for an answer.
A few things:
Ubuntu 12.10
Dell D630 Laptop.
EDEN (or Frodo...it doesn't make a difference)
xrandr display from laptop to television
I'm trying to setup RCB to launch mess, and then run a Sega Genesis emulator. I know that the emulator runs successfully, as I can do it from the command line without an issue.
However, once I've added my ROMS into RCB, I can't successfully launch anything.
I select the rom in question, and it says in the corner (launching NAME_OF_ROM) and then the screen goes black.
But there's where it stops.
I noticed that my remote control (Android) still seems to get results, audibly - I press on the buttons on the remote, and the audio from XBMC gives me the pleasing "you've just pressed a button" sound. It seems that although mess is running, XBMC doesn't relinquish control to the emulator.
Mess doesn't display. I've verified in the logs that mess is running, and sure enough, I can see mess running in the process list.
The only way out is to kill the mess binary from the command line. Once thats done, I'm returned to XBMC - although the rom doesn't run.
Here's the output in the xbmc.log:
