I have XBMC Live Dharma final installed (clean install from the Live CD) on a USB flash drive. When it boots, the TV screen that it is attached to goes black after the XBMC startup dots have gone. I found out (putty) that the TV's resolutions are not recognised correctly and a wrong default resolution is chosen. I need to change the AMD graphics card's database entries, but this will only work if X is not running at the time. Since I have found it impossible to kill XBMC standalone without it re-appearing instantly (great feature in any situation but this one) and thus cannot get rid of X once the machine has booted in normal mode, I figure I need to boot in safe mode.
How do I do this?
Holding down the shift and/or escape key has no effect. Has anyone actually succeeded in booting in safe mode from a fresh Dharma install?
