It's a HP w2207h.

I tried VGA and HDMI... both with the same failure...

Later at home I will try your solution with envy. Big Grin

Thx!

Extremely weird it doesn't work in VGA atleast. Then it should be the exact same thing as using a CRT but well.

If you have ati I sugest you install it with
# sudo restricted-manager
though, but then you WILL have to have some X running, like your old crt.

But well, good luck in you ventures Smile

Yeah... it's odd.

BTW: I'm using a Nvidia-Chipset (Geforce 6150)... should be fine...?

I got it all working and yay.. very cool.

was only getting 2 FPS too then updated the nvidia drivers and fixed issue.

But:
How do I get rid of the bar at the top of the xbmc screen stating cpu usage and ram etc.

Thanks for all the help guys.
Linux build looks promising.

the easy way is with the 'quiet' flag
./XboxMediaCenter -q

or configure with --disable-debug

It is all in the readme

@Topfs2

Thx for your help!

Yesterday I deleted my Ubuntu-Partitions and installed it again.
After downloading the updates I followed you instructions (albertomilone, envy,... ) and after solving some restart-fail-fu*k-you-problems my LCD finally worked under 1650*1080. Laugh Laugh

The installation and compiling of XBMC worked out perfectly and thx to your suggested drivers the 2fps-problem is gone. Nod

In fullscreen I got 20fps, normal SD-Xvid is running in a proper 24fps-framerate and HD-WMV havn't been tested so far... but I guess it won't work.
