Hi all, a newcomer here.
I recently tried to install xbmcuntu on a old laptop to use it as an old media server. Everything worked out just fine, however, when i connect it to my tv, using a vga cable, things go wrong. During start-up, it initially shows the xbmc loading screen, then the tv goes blank and the screen of the laptop goes on. Once booted, I can't get the laptop to display on the tv-screen. Anyone any idea or any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance,
Jelmew
Edit and bump:
I figured out that the tv-screen is getting a signal, it's just a black screen. The laptop screen works fine. I tried setting screens in xorg.conf, but that didn't work, because xrand-commands don't return any screen type.
