Anyone?

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...

Sorry for the ignorance .. but what is with the the different images in /boot? i.e 128elf.. and how do I change which one to use and why would I ?

Cool thanks

Sorry havn't got both configs to compare ..

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

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,

Yes, I was running the latest hf image ..... which is why I was puzzeled to get the error.
I did install xbmc-rbp-git ... that is the one that failed for me.

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 ?

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...

Ok, latest update to this adventure: Forced the upgrade to libglade with -Udd and then installed gtk2-fb after getting rid of some conflicting directory .. 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...

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 ...

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...

Hi There,

Tried a "yaourt -SA fusion-git" but not found .... is there a mirror or repository I should include?

Thanks,
B
