Re: XBMC

Many thanks for that cloudcentric. I am still having issues running xbmc, the binary installed by pacman runs, I get a menu bar, but when I go into videos/music etc I just get a dim,flashing menu bar. If I go into weather, it tries to get the weather, then locks up .. I can go into settings fine. Do...

Re: SPI & I2C & GPIO

Well that's good too :) ... but when will the SPI/I2C/GPIO drivers be added? ;)
Is arch kernel based on the Raspbian one?

SPI & I2C & GPIO

Hi Guys,

I notice that raspbian has these drivers built into the kernel, does Arch have them in the kernel as well?

If not, can someone include them ...

Cheers,
B.

XBMC

Hi All,

I notice there is an XBMC package in the AUR repository but it does not build (complains about CFLAGS no having ARMV6 or some such ..)

Has anyone built this successfully ?

Re: DirectFB on Raspberry Pi

Hi maribu, Thanks for the excellent explanation. Yes I did have gtk for xorg and I did re-install that together with all the other packages to get back a standard X desktop, so no harm done. It is a shame XdirectFB is not in good shape ... that would have been ideal. I might have a look at that myse...

Re: DirectFB on Raspberry Pi

I then could run netsurf ... it came up and I was able to see some web pages, but all the window text is munted (just square boxes) so was prett...

Re: DirectFB on Raspberry Pi

Ok, I'm fumbling along here by myself .. :shock: I have found the correct package is linux-fusion-git and it only needs the kernel headers so compiles fine .. great. So I get the directfb installed ok. My next hurdle is with gtk2-dfb, I get this error: pacman -U gtk2-dfb-2.24.11-1-armv6h.pkg.tar.xz ...

Re: DirectFB on Raspberry Pi

Hi again ... ok I have found on trying to install direct-fb that the module is called "linux-fusion" so tried installing that. It seems that it lists kernel26 as a dependancy, where is that? Does the kernel have to be re-compiled to install linux-fusion? I can't get enough information from this thre...
