Can we identify where the core fault lies in this case? If we can figure out what was going wrong, we can get it fixed for other people in future. Whenever I use the display configuration control...
Hi,
Thanks for the script. If I set anything other than display 0 or 0.0 on line 5, I get 'Cannot open Display' and XBMC seg faults and core dumps.
How do I find out what display number my...

Hi,
I am trying to get XBMC to display fullscreen on my TV. At the moment however, I get half on my PC screen, and half on the TV screen, so it's stretched across the two devices! How do I get...

Hi everyone,
I have finally got my TV working on HDMI output, but now I face my next challenge - getting the audio to work.

I could not get any of the new modelines to work either...

Many thanks

Ok. I have tried booting with each of those parameters but there is no change.
Similarly, echo 2400 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness is having no effect...
xbacklight doesn't seem to make any difference. I've tried a number of parameters and the brightness isn't changing..
I'll give those a try. Silly question - when I edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, - do those parameters actually need a dash in front of them, or is that just your formatting? :)
