Hello everyone. First I would like to thank the developers as well as the community for taking their time to not only develop but also to offer assistance with issues to people who find themselves in need.
Today I tried to install XBMC Dharma RC1, the install went through without any issues. However upon first boot the splash screen comes up and then it appears as if X gets killed and I'm sent back to a console login. From then on every few seconds the screen will go blank as if it's trying to load X again but promptly returns back to the console in what appears to be an endless loop of trying X and reverting back to a console login. After having looked at the xorg error log I noticed this error "Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error" and was wondering if anyone else had experienced that?
BTW, XBMC 9.11 worked fine on this same hardware. I've since thrown on another distro quick so I'm able to post this information. The following dmesg output is NOT from xbmc but I wanted to include it so you know the graphics hardware I'm using.
agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: Intel 830M Chipset
However I'm quite certain the actual chipset is an Intel 945.
Once I finish up working on this project I'll be able to post the entire xorg error log as well as a complete dmesg if needed. ATM I was just wondering if others have seen this and if their was an easy fix someone could recommend with the information I'm currently able to provide.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to mention one more thing.. I had also tried to apt-get update and apt-get upgrade on the installed version to see if that fixed the issue. Also XBMC Dharma RC1 will work fine in live disc mode.
