Gotham boots to gray screen (AMD)
#1
I have posted this on OpenELEC forum, but the problem is also in the XBMCbuntu.

My problem is that I get no sensible picture after the splash screen. I have tried both HDMI and VGA, results are the same. After installation the system starts to a gray striped screen. I'm running OpenELEC 3.2.4 without problems and have re-installed it now multiple times trying the different betas (OpenELEC 4 beta 1-6 + 4.0.1). I have tried some of the XBMCbuntu betas as well, latest being the 13.0. There seems to be no link for the 13.1 beta1 yet.

xrandr on OpenELEC does not output anything, it just gets stuck. On the XBMCbuntu it says "Can't open display" or something of that sort.
I've tried making my own xorg.conf file, but no results.

On OpenELEC 3.2.4 xrandr works fine:

Code:

I have tried excatly this one. It doesn't work for me.

Also forgot to mention, that on XBMCbuntu I can get xrandr to output, if I type "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr".

Okay - no idea then.

Edit: Can you check with a different Monitor / Remove the AVR? in between?

Thanks anyway. I have no AVR in between, and sadly no monitors laying around. At least one other user has the same symptoms...

Half OE bugtracker is full of that issue ... btw. could you please rename the title? So that one knows you are debugging OpenELEC?

I thought most of them are about wrong resolution, partial screen etc. I get no screen. I get your point though, maybe it's the same issue. I'm not specifically debugging OE, I'll take what ever form of working Gotham Smile

Anyone able to help? I just tried installing Ubuntu from scratch and applying the "Radeon OSS Howto". End up with the same result.

No you don't. You have an issue with your CEC adapter. Remove it and retry.

Does:
Code:
DISPLAY=:0 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc-xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 0x60

make it alive?

Display goes all black, command doesn't exit, but keeps running.

Good - that's another issue. Upgrade the kernel, like that and retry:

Code:
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.16-utopic/linux-headers-3.16.0-031600_3.16.0-031600.201408031935_all.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.16-utopic/linux-headers-3.16.0-031600-generic_3.16.0-031600.201408031935_amd64.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.16-utopic/linux-image-3.16.0-031600-generic_3.16.0-031600.201408031935_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i *3.16.0*deb
