Hi all,
Installed XBMC onto a USB drive using unetbootin and it boots and operates just fine on my monitor using a VGA cable. I want to use it on my (SD)TV though, so I went to the video options and set the screen resolution to 4:3 which looked weird on my monitor, but did work. However when I plug into the TV using a SCART cable all I get when XBMC starts up is moving vertical lines, like it's raining on my TV. The BIOS and safe mode work fine, so I figured this was an xserver issue, bad config or something, so I went to edit the xorg.conf file, but it wasn't there! I did an "sudo dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", but that didn't create the file either!
So my question is, where is the X configuration on XBMC Live?
Once I know that I can hopefully mount the USB drive & rootfs.img read/write and make the changes required, which I'm hoping is simply:
Option "TVOutFormat" "SCART"
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-I"
For reference I've got an Intel graphics chipset and live in the UK.
