Sad 
I have an aTV with software version 2.3. I installed XBMC (Atlantis b1f, I believe it is called), using the patch-stick method and all seemed to work well. Now for some unknown reason, whenever I start XBMC the screen just goes black. I can hear from the sounds when using the up/down-arrows on the remote that XBMC is running, so it must be a video-related problem (this is confirmed when logging in via ssh and doing "ps"). Problem is that I cannot change any video-settings, because I see nothing! I also tried to "update" the XBMC installation via the update menu option, but it did not help. Any ideas on how to solve this situation? (aTV is connected to the TV via HDMI).

Here is the last lines from the xbmc log-file:
