XBMC LIVE or XBMC on Ubuntu

Post by dsegerstad »

Greetings everyone.
I've just got my fit-PC2 and am trying to get XBMC to work.
XBMC LIVE seems to work and boots properly but stops at the logo.
From what I've learned from searching a lot of forums it seems like I need to update/alter the driver. Now I'm a NOOB to Linux and would like to have some sort of guideance. according to this topic the staff is working on a solution.

Irads>> any progress since march?

All the best
Daniel
