Couple more issues I've had
the command to install the Nvidia drivers has the letter b missing off the end of it in - it should be
Code:
sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.36.run -k $(uname -r) --x-module-path=/usr/lib/xorg/modules --x-library-path=/usr/lib
Careful installing the new drivers - I installed them and xbmc would only boot to a login prompt, xbmc wouldn't run - seems to be an issue with the new driver not removing the old one properly.
There are also new drivers available today (7/3/2011) new link for them is
Code:
wget http://uk.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/260.19.44/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.44.run
then installing with :-
Code:
sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.44.run -k $(uname -r) --x-module-path=/usr/lib/xorg/modules --x-library-path=/usr/lib
If you decide to install the new drivers from the link above
download them as described in the guide (you can try and install them but wait plenty of time when it hangs at the login prompt just to make sure the drivers aren't installing - then if it fails run the commands below) BUT then remove the current NVIDIA driver that's loaded with xbmc live with :-
Code:
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*
Then run this command :-
Code:
modprobe -l |grep nvidia
That should give a FATAL Error - don't worry - it just proves the NVidia driver has been deleted properly
if it shows a list of paths and files with nvidia in them then you'll need to delete them manually with rm -f filename
