Xbmc wont start after composite connection
#1
Hi
I have an apple tv with crystalbuntu installed.
Eveything worked great until i started the box with composite connected to see if it woud work on an old tv in the bedroom and it did, in color on the green connection.
But when i went back to my big screen xbmc wont start anymore.
I think something went wrong with the reolution settings somewhere, i figgeld around with xorg.conf, but i cant seem to fix it, any idea where i have to look ?

Save file. Permissions on file are 644.
Shutdown atv. Connect only hdmi to a TV and switch on apple tv.
You should see the picture.
You have to have also internet access if you did not disabled updates.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, i editted the xorg.conf as root and saved, but no luck.
I just get the comand line again.
Is there someting more i need to do, like changing permissions ?
Also, halfway when the box is starting up the screen goes purple, but i can still read the text that goes by ?

Purple screen during booting is normal.

Everything looks normal, no errors, it gets in the end of booting to the crystalhd updater,
checks for updates, the screen flashes a little and then instead of starting xbmc, i get the command line, no idea whats wrong ??
