Hello,

first of all I'm new to ubuntu(linux) I know my way in windows very well but I understood that with the revo 3600 and the new ion graphic card only is supported in ubuntu or linux, so I installed ubuntu on my revo, works fine!

I installed xbmc, works fine!

BUT Oo

I connected my revo to my philips Full HD TV and did not get a full screen, when I look into the screen settings i cannot go higher then 1280*1024.

Second thing is when i connect the revo to my wireless network It says that the connection is good, but i have enormous time-outs when i ping something.

Can anyone help me getting started with ubuntu and xbmc, I just want to use it to view movies, for me and the kids

Or just another question, does anybody knows if xbmc supports full hd with the ion graphic card on windows 7 then I will find my way very quickly


THX in advance to help me

THE NEW ONE

You're stuck with linux for the revo if you want to watch HD content.

How is your revo connected? The an hdmi port? or VGA?

There are resolution limits when using the VGA port.

If its through hdmi or dvi, google around for ubuntu help. The revo is a new product there are going to be a ton of posts on how to get started with it out there.

Most of your problems seem to be in how ubuntu is set up I'm betting.
Windows 7 x64 Home Premium
Gigabyte MA78GM-U2SH Mainboard
ATI HD3200 Onboard
AMD 7750BE Dual-Core 4.00GB RAM
ATI HD3200 HDMI Sound
HTPC HMDI -> ONKYO TX-SR605 -> Panasonic TH-46PZ85U Plasma
