i keep trying these new drivers out on BH 1.7.9 but keep getting problems where i cant even boot my image,
it usually happens after a crash which may or may not be down to the drivers.... (i do like to play !)
this is from the last crash;

+ (1) Background File Eraser
+ (8) graphics acceleration manager
+ (9) GFBDC
FATAL: no framebuffer available
resolve: resolve ${sysconfdir}/enigma2/settings
resolve: -> /etc/enigma2/settings
resolve: resolve ${sysconfdir}/enigma2/settings

How are you installing them ?

Definitely a small improvement but the issue is when you watch something like SPN and the ticker is running across the bottom.

[saintomer1866]

Installing them the way that A reccomended...


Use ftp and put the files into /lib/modules/3.3.6-1.2/extra/

Then reboot your box
box restarts fine and all is well for a while but then the box will have a problem, maybe gsod or spinner,
and then will just sit at the BH splash screen on restart
if i keep the original december drivers in it then this problem doesnt occur ?
maybe it's not the drivers but just a coincidence but seems strange that this happens after a driver update

[sonic1]

My advice is use the latest Vu Control centre, no chance of any errors that way.

[saintomer1866]

ok i'll give it a go and see if that makes any difference.

[sonic1]

Make sure you select the latest release drivers and not beta.

[saintomer1866]

all done lets see how it goes...
the first difference is i only rebooted after putting the drivers on before,
where as vucc says to power off and on, so i have.

[sonic1]

Power off is the correct procedure and don't rush to switch back on, give it a minute or so.
