[GUIDE] Acer Revo R3700 - XBMC Live Dharma

gchase23 · 2010-12-30 02:14

The guide worked well, I have been having trouble getting my Revo set up as well 10.

My issue is wireless speed, I had no issued with 9.11, but now since i've upgraded my system wireless speed is erratic. over ssh I can transfer files and the speed will jump from 500kb/s down to 1,000byte/s. Terrible flux. Which is preventing me from updating my library, as the connection timesout, and for the shows that i manually select they buffer every minute constantly, this is SD content Im talking about too.

I have WICD installed and that has been the best wireless result as I always am connected to the network when xbmc turns on, I just have such terrible speed issues.

WICD-CURSES says connected at 94%.

Am I the only one whose having this problem?

well, without a debug log or other information, it may be that you broke the nvidia drivers and/or vdpau.

1) the preferred installation of newest nvidia drivers still is via x-swat repository
2) make sure your system has the libvdpau1 library installed
3) provide a debug log

add.: all these guides are nice and swell, but when the standard live system is installed, please test it thoroughly before doing any more modifications!

I have followed this guide, however after rebooting my revo doesn't boot into xmbc. Instead, after putting in my login details it justs stays on a command line. Everything else seemed to go fine until the last stage where i reboot. Anyone got any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance

rambo181: installing the video drivers one more time fixed it for me.

Does this install XBMC to the hard drive or do I still need to keep in the USB Drive?

Also, will this work on the Acer Revo 1600? I bought that and then just upgraded the RAM to 2 GB.

Can anyone confirm if this will work on the FoxConn 330i Pcs?

Thanks,

So I followed the directions in the first post to set up my Revo 3610 but am still not getting any sound. I skipped the step 8 as my tv only does 720p. My choices under audio settings are below. Any ideas what is wrong?

Audio Output: HDMI>Optical>Analog

Audio Output Device: hdmi>iec958>Custom>default
Passthrough Output Device: hdmi>iec958>Custom>

My log file can be found here:

Thanks for your help!

Just wanted to say thanks for the thread. I used it to set up my 2 new 3700s. The only snag I ran into was that I had to hit F12 to get the boot menu and use the USB stick. It wouldn't boot from it based on the bios setting for some reason. Just figured I throw that in in case it might help someone else in the future.

Cheers!
