@Finchy, try:
sudo service lightdm stop
to stop XBMC and
sudo service lightdm start
to start it again.

Dear users
I followed all of these steps but the problem remains the same, no visual on the screen. I think I did everything fine so here is my xorg.conf and xlog file hoping you guys could take a look at it.
Much appreciated

Then I would like you to reboot and get me your /var/logs/xorg.0.log in a pastebing and I will calculate your modelines and do you a proper xorg...The old one is useless I want edid modes to show up pls on log.

Use this xorg, and follow my link to properly configure xbmc for 23/24p
And that should give you pretty precise modes with nVidia 304.60

Thanks so much! I used the xorg you provided and everything works like an absolute charm. The only thing left do do for me is fixing the sound through hdmi but there is lots of documentation for this so i know this won't be a problem.
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!

Hi Universal
How do I get that into the Xorg file? When I try to paste it in via WinSCP it says action denied. I'm not very familiar with Linux editing, etc.
I'm running XBMCBuntu and my TV is a Panasonic 42PX60 btw.
2012-11-01, 14:24
You have do it via ssh (since your scp doesnt have permissions to create files everywhere then and paste the contents then press ctrl+o to save file and ctrl+x to exit back
Telling me what your tv brand and model is doenst help at all, as I cant see your /var/log/xorg.0.log and I dont have access to your Tv/system
This xorg is using DFP-1 since idk if your output is using DFP-0 or DFP-1 this may have to be modified to your system (you can find out by looking at /var/log/xorg.0.log instructions are on first post)
I also pimped the xorg to use Moddieman refresh rate for his TV. If you want a similar one you have to post the info he posted.

Ah, thanks. I've updated the xorg.conf as you've said, but it still only gives me the resolution of up to 720p in XBMCBuntu.
I've uploaded my xorg.o.log file (copied into a .txt file) to https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11513453/Xorg.o.log.txt if you wouldn't mind having a look.
Many thanks

Ah ok, first off, its as I suspected, your TV and most like all tv's are DFP-0
Use this for your TV specific. Ive corrected the xorg to match your TV including
HorizSync : 15.000-46.000 kHz
VertRefresh : 48.000-61.000 Hz
As for 1920x1080 Your Tv supports @60Hz interlaced only @50Hz non interlaced which @50Hz is what I defined.
your xorg complains
If the xorg above doesnt set your TV to correct 1920x1080 we may have to replace this
with this
You will need to reboot after each xorg modification for safe measure.
If it still doesn't work we can comment out
put a # before -Option-
I cant be sure that it fixes it but it could be your TV is very picky (it is) and has a crap upscaler
You could also upgrade your video drivers to 304.60 if you haven't already done that. (xswat ppa)

Great, thanks, I'll have a go!
So does my telly support 1080p at 50hz?! I always thought it was 720p or 1080i.
How do I update my drivers (or find out what I have)?

2012-11-01, 21:03
OK, so I've updated the Xorg file but there's a problem. I get visuals until XBMC starts to load, but then I just get a black screen. I suspect it's because my telly doesn't support 1080p. I've just changed it back to the original (backup) one for the time being. Would you mind amending it to allow both 720p and 1080i please?
2012-11-01, 23:05
Replace the modeline as I said use the one I posted last except you want to replace
With
As for drivers its in xbmc.log
updating follow http://hometheatersalsa.com/updated-linu...a-drivers/
According to xorg.0.log the Tv supports 1080p @50Hz or 1080i interlaced @ 60Hz but xorg.log complains about 1080 modes in ANY interlaced or non interlaced. but try to replace the modelines as I instructed on both posts.
