GeeXboX

I just tried the 2.0 version on my AMD C-50 netbook (I made a Live USB using UNetbootin), but it doesn’t work. All I get (even in debug mode) is scrambled screen (like noise on TV) and that’s it. I guess that GPU in C-50 isn’t supported with drivers that ship in 2.0 (btw, chipset is supported by current OSS drivers, I have a working Ubuntu installation on the same machine).

I’m waiting for Intel CE4100 platform compatibility…

Any chance there will be any support for video playback acceleration on OMAP4 anytime soon?

Hi have a C-60 and find that amd software in windows is incapable of detecting the device, in windows 7 I have to manually insert drivers , not sure if the c-50 has the same issue , i’ll try geexbox on it via unetbootin but i’m not expecting anything to work to be honest, i’ll reply if it works , but even ubuntu randomly crashes on my c-60. when I was viewing the device in a gpu information tool there was a strange code prior to the device ID , informed amd about it and they dont seem even slighty intrested shame but true

I would love to have the Pandaboard and GeeXboX replacing my current HTPC. But I need it for playing 1080p movies. Any knowledge on when h264 video acceleration will be supported? What is blocking for h264 HW playback on the Pandaboard?

BTW. Nice work guyz:) Love GeeXboX

Love to be able to use this with an old laptop to reduce the form factor at the entertainment center, but I realize that’s a much bigger hurdle than making it work with all desktop motherboards.

Running on a desktop with rt2800usb wireless compatible adapter. Current stable realease doesn’t recognize the adapter. Running geexbox-devel-20120223-r13982-i386 is just fine – except for being forced to enter on console, edit /etc/network, force MAC address on IFACE parameter and put a manual configuration on /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.

Steps:
- boot geexbox
- enter on console using ctrl + alt + f2
- log as root / root
- get your wifi mac (ifconfig, e.g.)
- edit /etc/network and set IFACE do the mac address, set connection to WLAN, encryption to PSK and your wpa2/psk passprhase
- edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, cleanup all contents and write (your key could be on plain format)
network={
ssid=”network name”
key=”your key”
}
- reboot

It seems you don’t use persistent, else just do this one time and at next reboot , should be fine

is there a way I could load this up on a SSD and boot via sATA? building a miniPC in my car

I have a serious problem with this program, I have a mini-itx board with Via C7 and VIA CN700 chipset Integrating the Graphics UniChrome ™ Pro IGP graphics core, I can not use it, hangs a lot, or the mouse pointer flows normally . what do I do?

On my sempron 140, and 6150se gpu, flows flawless… perfect!

@wemerson : I guess the problem is the Graphics UniChrome ™ Pro IGP card …
