Evening from rainy Ireland..

Ive just installed XBMC on Hardy Heron having been running it on 3 xboxs around the house for a year or two.. I have an IBM T30 Laptop and have downloaded the latest SVN and installed and compiled step by step using build.sh. However i cant get it to run full screen without changing the screen magnification to -20% and have spent the last hour or so tinkering with the video setting to see if i Can get it to work - my video card in XBMC is being show as and MSI radeon - It did work perfectly on feisty fawn so im fairly sure is some missing package but cant figure out which one. Ive followed the instructions to the letter and it does run but wont fill the screen.. any help or pointers warmly recieved

Brilliant work on this - amazing to see it run so easily on a laptop which looks fab on my 42" HD TV.. well done to all involved

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi thanks for searching the forums so carefully before posting!</sarcasm>

You need to disable desktop effects in Ubuntu.

shanedoyle · 2008-07-14, 15:42

wow is that what im supposed to do search first.. thanks!! Thats also sarcasm.. Laugh

have tried the suggestions re turning off the desktop effects .. Im running kubuntu latest build on a t30 laptop and just cant it to look right full screen without changing the zoom to -18%.. the fonts are unreadable on the home page or anywhere else for that matter at any other resolution.. Any other simple suggestions before i start the debug. and logging process etc., Which i might try first??

Thanks in advance
Shane

Ah, had you given all the details (mainly the kubuntu bit) in the first place, maybe I'd have been less an ass. Regardless, see http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=34655 .

Althekiller,
Understand you get lots of questions - Ill put a proper log together for you in the morning and hopefully see if we can resolve. for the moment i can run it in a window just short of full screen i.e if i have it in a window about a cm from the bottom of the screen its fine.. Looks like the fonts are trying to stretch somehow..

Anyway thanks for the post outlining what you need - no sarcasm this time -

IBM ThinkPad has an ATI RADEON 7500 graphic controller (with 16 MB of video RAM) that only support OpenGL 1.3 and no GLSL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_...sing_units

Sorry but that graphic controller is not good enough for XBMC, see:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMC_for_Lin...or_XBMC.3F

Ive had it running perfectly on this laptop before and an older SVN on Feisty fawn and it worked perfectly, Ive been having a look through the logs and the issue seems to be with resizing the fonts. Im getting the list althekiller was looking for together shortly.. Bizzarely enought whilst tinkering with it last night i had a look through some pictures to make sure they worked on an smb share and i when i went back to the main menu it was full screen no problem. The issue seems to be be the font

20:24:07 T:3071809440 M: 71282688 INFO: GL_RENDERER = Mesa DRI Radeon 20061018 AGP 4x x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
20:24:07 T:3071809440 M: 71282688 INFO: GL_VERSION = 1.3 Mesa 7.0.3-rc2

and this from the log ill have all the bits up later on it did work on the same laptop on feisty fawn kubuntu.

20:24:10 T:3071809440 M: 60440576 DEBUG: Load homebutton-small.png: 0.3ms (bundled)

20:24:10 T:3071809440 M: 60440576 ERROR: In file:GUIFontTTF.cpp function:Begin line:804

This is recurring in the log - full debug on the way..

Thanks for taking the time to look into it though

Althekiller,

right here goes..
1) Kubuntu - Up to date as of 15th J uly 2008
2) i686 - IBM t30 thinkpad laptop
3) Installed latest SVN VIa build.sh
4) when in full screen view fonts are blurred and unreadable unless the zoom is set to between -16 and -18%
5) SVN 10466
7) debug log attached below -

Heres where i think the prob is though as in this log i kept toggling fullscreen. this repeats everytime i hit the \ key

While I really don't know anything. My first guess would be that you might try going into your BIOS and upping your video memory as high as it will go, or adding more RAM if it's not something that you can change manually. You might want to look that up.

You need to make that line in the log say ATI. Look into ATI proprietary drivers. I hope you mistyped that svn revision because we're on 1415x now. Also, don't paste log snippets or anything else larger than 4-5 lines in the forums, use pastebin.

~$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl is what made it work for me just for anyone elses benefit - the ati generic driver install is beyond complicated on hardy at the moment - so for now ill just let it run slow.. it seems to be due to the background png's being rendered - which is keeping it at 100%, im watchin the other thread on the 100% CPU and am posting this so others can benefit hopefully

Take a look at ENVY, I believe it does both NVIDIA and ATI drivers from their respective WEB sites.

I installed following these instructions

I now have high speed full screen XBMC - on my t30 the ATI drivers just wont cut it on this but with these instructions works perfectly..

I dont know if this is an older build but touch wood its perfect now on my laptop which will now return to its designated spot under the tv with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse..

Hope this is of help to someone
