Black screen with VNC/TeamViewer after XBMC - SCUZNUTS - 2013-04-29
Hi Team,
I have a Ubuntu 13.04 64Bit PC with XBMC 12 and the latest TeamViewer installed.
I have setup the desktop sharing for VNC and TeamViewer and all works fine.
When I launch XBMC and then close it I am now only see a black screen when connecting via the above applications.
-It is only a static black screen, but still connected and can move the mouse with another device.
I can get the remote programs all working again by stopping and starting 'lightdm' via terminal.
Any suggestions or ways to track what XBMC is doing to cause this?
Cheers

Update: Installed XBMC 12.1 - same issue occuring in testing
Modifying the graphics in TeamViewer to towards 'quality' does not fix this and does not help the VNC side also.
- I have posted this on Ubuntu Forums as well.

I know have this issue on a 2nd system. This system is running Ubuntu 12.04 lts and xbmc 12.3. Vnc works while xb,c is running but when I exit the program I get a black screen on my desktop. When I first turn in the pc vnc works fine. I only get this black screen after I have started xbmc. Can anyone help?
