By purge xswat ppa I mean kick it to the curb, get rid of it.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
apt-get update
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current nvidia-settings <<-- if that is the current packages names.
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings <<-- that should be distro version 304.88 going in.
for determining packages installed and candidates
Code:
apt-cache policy packagename
For installing specific package versions from get go this works for every package both OS side and of course xbmc (sicne xbmc is also a package).
Code:
sudo apt-get install packagename=1.3.2-5~bpo1
and that is not even going into apt-cache and using dpkg there is no need for that unless packages simply dont exist anymore, its a last resort measure imo. Yes if you purge apt-cache (notice I never asked you to do that) you will loose the list of downloaded packages locally.
FYI I hate repeating stuff that can be found commonly on internet, but its clear that you are operating under some assumptions that are a bit in need of refreshing with facts.
Also dont forget to report the packaging problem from x-swat ppa to the nvidia driver maintainer.
Finally you cant keep ignoring what you are being told about limited range and most importantly what Fernetmenta has made clear here
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1562336 and what fritsch is telling you.
On the topic of limited range, let the driver do its thing, it needs to be in full range and is so by default (dont fiddle with drivers forcing them to limited range thers no need)
Your TV and or AVR is set in limited range specifically (fritsch gave you a great pointer about Samsung TV's which is 100% correct) and so is XBMC set in limited range and then all works with minimal fuss and correctly. (provided your TV supports it, if not your done)
