Thank you for tips, it works too on mine. Just a question, when double clicking on the "runXBMC" file generated, it asks me "launch in a terminal / launch / edit /whatever"...

Is there any way to avoid to answer to this question Confused

Rgs,

Just wanted to say thanks for this find! Up until now I'd been manually patching xbmc to get the touchscreen working - now with this fix I don't have to Big Grin

EDIT - Actually, I don't think my issue is XBMC specific at all - I see the same launching X alone. Hmm, must need to fiddle with Ubuntu to get the touch screen working. But that's offtopic here.

Sorry for the noise, I'll leave my original post below anyway, just in case...

Quote:Hi all,

I'm running XBMC on an ExoPC (same hardware as some other posters). It is from XBMC Live 10.1 but is installed to the hard drive now. This thread, the bug report in Trac and a bit of Googling have not enlightened me ;-)

The file /usr/bin/runXBMC already exists so I tried adding
export SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0
at the start of this file but this has no discernible effect.
As far as I can see, runXBMC in XBMC Live is starting an X session in which to run XBMC (at least, if I try and run xbmc or xbmc-standalone directly it fails due to lack of X). My hunch is that I need to insert the
export SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0
at a very specific point in this file to get things working. I'm not getting any errors and can launch XBMC from the shell by running runXBMC which also makes me think just the insertion point is somehow wrong.

Can anyone help me with where exactly to insert that command? I can post the current runXBMC contents if that helps. But if you have XBMC live then it is at /usr/bin/runXBMC on your system. I've been inserting 'export SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0' straight after the comments.

Thanks for your time.

Sorry about the delay but here is part of my modified /usr/bin/runXBMC script that works in my exopc:

Code:

...

#  http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html

if [ "$(pidof xbmc.bin)" ] ; then

        exit

fi

# BEGIN kais 23.1.2011: Otherwise touchscreen doesn't work

export SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0

# END kais 23.1.2011: Otherwise touchscreen doesn't work

if [ "$(pidof X)" ] ; then

        /usr/bin/xbmc --standalone

        exit

fi

...

The code starts just after the comments in the beginning of the file. Only modification that I have made is between #BEGIN and #END tags. Hopefully this helps.

This looks promising but where would I find that "auto start" for xbmc in XBMCbuntu current (eden?)?

Working fine, but how is the SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0 added to the auto start?

djtaus · 2012-06-02 14:37
