Hi Kid - sorry, my instructions weren't clear re: the kill X step. I've clarified in the first step what I meant, which was.... Kill X using the command 'sudo pkill X' (so you did figure out what was required)

If you are booting to a command line instead of XBMC, I suspect that there is a conflict with the updated drivers and your display. So, to confirm, before you upgraded the drivers, did Live boot fine into the XBMC interface? If so, and it broke after installing the drivers, I'm guessing you might want to look into your xorg.conf file and your X logs to check for compatibility or issues that might be causing problems.

Here are a few questions to help troubleshoot:

What type of display are you connecting to?
Also, just out of curiosity, how are you connecting your audio?

If you type startx at the prompt once it boots to the command line, does XBMC start up then?

Also, check this log: /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if you find any errors in that file indicating a problem with the graphics config on your display.

Hopefully that gives you some ideas... I'll keep trying to help where I can.
