By reading this forum and other sources, I've got xbmc working on a Zotac Zbox HD-ID11 by installing Ubuntu Maverick and pointing apt to the xbmc SVN repository.
However I've got a few issues I need help with...
1) Boot dies with Xorg. It tries to start X and fails. I noticed that GDM was uninstalled, but I don't understand the new Upstart system. (I'm old-school init.d :/ )
When I tell Xorg to exit to prompt and 'restart xbmc-live' it works great. So, that means xorg.conf and related are fine. It's just a weird startup issue.
(Also, how do I get the xbmc boot splash?)
2) When running xbmc, all is fine, but Xorg seems to be using a lot of CPU, even when idle at weather. The Zotac Zbox overheated and shutdown at one point.
I've checked the video settings & such, but can't figure out what is eating so much CPU.
Any suggestions, or just a temporary artifact from being SVN/beta?
(I do have the proprietary nvidia driver installed and working.)
