Hi i install xbmcbuntu 12.1 after upgrade. Everythink works fine but one think not.

I log to xbmcbuntu session - go to monitors configure - disable build in lcd screen (this is laptop - but work as media center on tv) , and ubuntu disable screen .

But when i log to session - xbmc have mirrors screen and both work.

So where i can setup xbmc monitors setup - xbmc session dont use xbmcubuntu session config ...

You could try using the command

xrandr

[grekpg]

or i run it but still have problem.

add :

EXTERNAL_OUTPUT="VGA1"
INTERNAL_OUTPUT="LVDS1"

xrandr |grep $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT | grep " connected "
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
xrandr --output $INTERNAL_OUTPUT --off --output $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto
else
xrandr --output $INTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto --output $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT --off
fi

to 45xcustom_xrandr-settings.

- monitor is turned off but.

in xbmc session - always have out of range i tv. (its old 32" tv)

i setup in other tv - 800x600 in 60 Hz still, out of rage in xbmc mode.

when i change boot to xbmcbuntu mode - i see desktop on tv - even in 120x768 screen.

Where i can have problem ? how to resolve it ?

very thanks for help

Looks like its a refresh rate issue. Maybe its possible to set the refresh rate via xrandr? Ive never tried. Or a custom xorg.conf with modelines to suit your monitor?

[grekpg]

but how to do it ?

[teeedubb]

Have you googled 'xrandr refresh rate' ?
