Dharma on Acer Revo: No X output
#1
Hi,

I have updated my Revo XBMC box to Dharma, and I am having issues getting X to work, I wonder if anyone can help me out.

First off, fresh off boot I am dropped to a command line on tty1. As is usual, the Live session works just fine

My previously working xorg.conf is dead simple:

Code:
Section "Device"
        Identifier "nvidia"
        Driver  "nvidia"
        Option  "NoLogo"              "true"
        Option  "DynamicTwinView"     "false"
        Option  "FlatPanelProperties" "Scaling = Native"
        Option  "ModeValidation"      "NoVesaModes, NoXServerModes, NoVertRefreshCheck, NoHorizSyncCheck"
        Option  "UseDisplayDevice"    "DFP-0"
        Option  "ModeDebug"           "true"
        Option  "HWCursor"            "false"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "screen"
        Device          "nvidia"
        SubSection      "Display"
                Modes "1920x1080_60_0" "1920x1080_24"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
        Option  "Composite"           "false"
EndSection

when I issue startx; it appears to try to get stared but my TV gets stuck in NO SIGNAL, even though i can see the processes running:

Code:
xbmc      1907  1744  0 16:34 tty1     00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/startx
xbmc      1924  1907  0 16:34 tty1     00:00:00 xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc :0 -auth /tmp/serverauth.LAMgVFmoK9
xbmc      1931  1924  0 16:35 tty1     00:00:00 /usr/bin/ck-launch-session x-window-manager
xbmc      1959  1931  0 16:35 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/ck-launch-session x-window-manager
xbmc      1968  1931  0 16:35 tty1     00:00:00 fluxbox

I also notice that there is a startup script to get things going:
Code:
root@XBMCLive:/etc/X11# start xbmc-live
xbmc-live start/running, process 2325
root@XBMCLive:/etc/X11# status xbmc-live
xbmc-live stop/waiting
root@XBMCLive:/etc/X11# start xbmc-live
xbmc-live start/running, process 2465
root@XBMCLive:/etc/X11# status xbmc-live
xbmc-live stop/waiting


It just dies

Finally, besides from trying lots and lots of video modes, I cant find anything wrong with my Xorg log:

Issue persists after updating to latest NVIDIA drivers as per these commands:

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings


No idea what to try next, might fall back to previous version....

A few days late, but I just wanted to report that I solved the issue by falling back to XBMC Live 9.11 and then updating XBMC and the NVIDIA drivers.

Not the best scenario as I am stuck with an obsolete Karmic base - damn Ubuntu for not being a rolling release; but at least I'm back with an useable HTPC.
