What converter did you use?

The Team SD-Card is an unknown entity as far as the hardware compatibility list on the wiki goes. I use a couple of Sandisk 16GB Ultra SDHC class-6 cards. They have been fine with Wheezy as I said before.

There are some other choices here : http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeriphera ... g_SD_Cards

I wouldn't go for the Sandisk Extreme class 10 cards at the moment. I have two of those, and they wouldn't work. Sandisk class 6 cards seem to work well with Debian Wheezy, but didn't seem to work properly with RaspBMC, or OpenElec.

... Can I suggest you qualify your wiki posting with (Only tested to 1280x1024) that couls save a few peole wasting their money! It already does, Tested against a Philips 170B 1280x1024 LCD monitor, producing a full native resolution image. Does it come with a power adaptor? And were you using it? ...

Mortimer

I haven't tried the OpenElec build at all, so maybe I'll give that a whirl.

Mortimer

I haven't tried any local content, as I don't have any. I'll try and spend some time with it this weekend, to see if I have overlooked any settings.

The problem is that Gameport is analogue and the GPIO on the RPi is only digital. So the previous suggestion of using a USB-Gameport adapter is probably the best there is. The adapters are about £10.

I am only a recent joiner to the RPi community and had only started tinkering with Raspbmc a couple of evenings ago. I got RC2 installed and eventually worked out how to install add-ons and got TVCatchup working, and was pretty chuffed with myself. Last night my SD-card with Raspbmc wouldn't boot. I...

Surely your stock control system should be flagging up problems if this is happening?

More stock going from the shelves than has been ordered surely can't go un-noticed for long!

The same MAC address on the same network segment is certainly a problem. I have experienced this when helping out our engineers who decide to duplicate virtual machines and run them both on the same cluster!! I am not sure what would happen if you have the same MAC address appearing on two sides of ...

Very pleased with this, Wheezy on the 16GB Class-6 Sandisk Ultra card is my main build now.

Mortimer

To get LXMusic to work I had to install decoders. I did the following: sudo apt-get install xmms2-plugin-all This installs a lot of decoders*, many of which I am unlikely to ever use, so being more selective could save some space on RPi using smaller SD-Cards. * Including: MPeg layers 1, 2 and 3 Voc...

I have just tried Wheezy on one of the 16GB Sandisk Ultra Class 6 cards. Booted first time and seems problem free at the moment. Well done chaps! I'll give one of the Class 10 cards a whirl now! Is that tempting fate or what!!?

Mortimer

I think this is a good idea. As cheap as the Raspberry Pi is, it is far better to wear out a cheap 60p switch that the microUSB socket on the board.

Mortimer

Very odd: When I boot the RPi from the 2GB Kingston SD-Card the image fits perfectly on the screen. When I installed the same OS onto the InoV8 16GB card and booted it with the exactly the same config.txt file, the image is raised about 2cm, and there is not enough adjustment in the monitor to bring...

Mortimer

I am finding this frustrating too. When I ordered my RPi I ordered a couple of Sandisk Extreme 4GB SDHC Class 10 cards. This was before I discovered the compatibility issue. I have tended to buy Sandisk or Kingston cards anyway, so I stuck with what I knew and it bit me. The Sandisk Extreme cards wo...

Mortimer

Managed to post the information to the Wiki at last!

Mortimer

I tried adding to the Wiki, but my submission disappeared after being submitted. I'll wait and see if it reappears, it might be awaiting vetting before appearing properly, before trying again. I have a new link to Amazon, as the seller I bought from is out of stock, but I found another: http://www.a...

I thought I would let people know how I am displaying the output of my RPi, as it might help some others out too. I am using one of these: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41SgcvxVazL.jpg Bought from Amazon market : http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B007N43FS0/ref=ox_ya_os_product At the...

Ah! OK I had got it sussed: Your settings did work for me, all I had to do was tell the monitor to autosync and it sorted everything out. But I did fiddle with the numbers before getting to that revelation. As I reported in my first post I was getting as monitor resolution of 1184x928. This is of co...

Mortimer

OK that is better, but -48 all round is probably not quite right for my monitor setup.
Did you have to mess around a bit to find the right values?

Mortimer

OK, I'll give that a whirl! Thanks.

Mortimer

I have been trying to get the RPi to drive my monitor at the correct resolution, but to far not having much luck. My config.txt file is as follows at the moment: hdmi_drive=2 hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=36 As far as I can tell, this should drive my monitor at 1280x1024@75Hz. The command "/opt/vc/bin/tvse...
