Restarting XBMC - kay.one - 2009-11-16

I have xbmc 9.11 alpha 2 installed and currently in the process of fixing my remote control mapping,

its a big pain in the ass to have to restart the system to test the changes I have made since it takes over 4 minutes for my system to boot up. I have tried exiting xbmc and then starting it up by typing 'xbmc' but that gives me this error:
"Could not connect to x server"

is there a proper way to restart xbmc? or force it to reload the key mapping without a restart?

it takes you 4 whole minutes to restart? what kinda hardware are you running on, a 300Mhz Cpu with 64MB ram? my zotac 330 restarts in about 30 seconds. something must be wrong with your setup...

I believe there's a keymapping to reload the keymap. It's reloadkeymaps.

depends on how you configured your system. but try startx.

Alternatively, restart xbmc from the shutdown menu. Will only restart xbmc and not restart the pc.
