Hi !
I'm trying to set up an XBMC media center based on Arch, and I have some problem to get XBMC working with tv-out.
The media center PC is a laptop with broken LCD screen, so I'm using TV out as main display.
Xorg works fine, so as Chrome browser and other apps, but apps which uses OpenGL only gives me a black screen. I have tested with XBMC and Mednafen OpenGL output, and screen gets black for both. If I use Mednafen standard SDL video output, it works fine.
Hardware is an Intel GM965 chip, here's the lcpi output :

I'm using Archlinux LTS kernel :
$ uname -a
Linux myhost 2.6.32-lts #1 SMP Tue Mar 15 09:48:41 CET 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 550 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/LinuxThe XBMC version is 10.1-1, it's the the one packaged for Arch, from the community repository. I also tried xbmc-git package, but I had the same problem, so I get back to community package.
Is there someone here using this kind of video chip with XBMC on TV-Out ?
Is there a way to tell XBMC to use standard SDL video out instead of using OpenGL (like mednafen does) ?
Is there any options missing at xorg level ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Post your xorg.conf and the output of
glxinfo | grep OpenGLglxinfo is in the mesa-demos package. Also, are you in the video group? And any specific reason you're using the lts kernel? For such an old chip I don't think it matters, but who knows. With KMS being used now, the kernel has gotten a lot more important when it comes to graphics.

Hi !
glxinfo output :

OpenGL extensions:I don't have xorg.conf, I just have 3 files under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d :
The two default files 10-evdev.conf and 10-quirks.conf :
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

After last xorg intel driver update, it works !
