Build for Intel 915GMA - nchall - 2010-07-23

My old laptop can run 9.11 fine, but when I try the latest builds, both GL and DX it just crashes. As I said, laptop is pretty old and it is running Windows 7 which Intel were kind enough not provide a WDDM driver for, but I am still hoping I can get it working because I use it to try out new tweaks for my larger HTPC.

Any suggestions?

A debug log might be useful perhaps?

Thanks!

Hmmm, "FATAL: CApplication::Create: Unable to init rendering system" is obviously the killer. You need to turn on debug logging as it will give us a bit more info, but because you can't start XBMC you'll need to do this by hand.

Open your userdata folder (windows-R and type %appdata%\xbmc\userdata is a quick way to your userdata folder). If there is a file called guisettings.xml then edit it in Notepad, if there is no such file create a new file called guisettings.xml using Notepad, and paste in:

Code:
<settings>

    <debug>

        <showloginfo>true</showloginfo>

    </debug>

</settings>

Now start XBMC and you should find the xbmc.log is a lot bigger and has much more detailed info. Pop this new xbmc.log on pastebin.com for us to have a look at.

Details still missing in the log. Did you have to create the guisettings.xml from scratch?

Can you install the latest DirectX runtime?

Hmmm, that doesn't give any useful clues. I don't know where we go from here. I think one of the guys who works on the rendering code would need to reproduce the problem on a 915GMA so they could debug it.

You could try downloading and running the DirectX installer from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3b170b25-abab-4bc3-ae91-50ceb6d8fa8d just in case there's something odd about the DX setup on your PC. It's a long shot though.

Since you have Win7, we try to use D3D9Ex but we don't have a fallback from D3D9Ex to D3D9. It may be required when no WDDM driver is available. I'll have a look.

Although the GL version should be unaffected by this.

Please try a nightly >= r32138.

- nchall - 2010-07-26

Well that fixed it. Using the latest nightly DX and it is working fine. I bet it was a problem associated with the lack of a WDDM driver as you all mentioned. What changed in the latest nightly to make it work?

ahh thanks. most people probably won't have this problem, but for people trying to run it on old hardware it might be helpful.

- nchall - 2010-08-31

this seems to be happening again using the latest dx nightly, particularly in music visualizations.

- nchall - 2010-09-01

getting a bsod when i use the milkdrop preset on the latest dx nightly.

Can you go back versions to track when this started?

And a debug log never hurt.
