This setup assumes a single user will automatically login and start XBMC - Windowmanager of choise will be fluxbox
Install prereq
apt-get install apt-transport-https
Add xbmc sources:
# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.list deb https://people.debian.org/~rbalint/ppa/xbmc-ffmpeg xbmc-ffmpeg-wheezy-backports/ deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free # Add keyring aptitude install debian-keyring gpg --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg -a --export 21E764DF | apt-key add -
Prepare for XBMC 13.X
aptitude install libtag1c2a libtinyxml2.6.2 libva-glx1 libva1 libxslt1.1 libyajl2 aptitude -t wheezy-backports install libtag1c2a
Install audio/sound
aptitude install alsa
Install XBMC, xorg and fluxbox
aptitude install fluxbox xbmc fbpager
Verify you can start fluxbox by issuing:
startx
as the user who will run XBMC
Install proprietary gfx drivers
If needed, I'd recommend staying with opensource ones first if they work fine.
Otherwise, to install fglrx on debian:
# Append contrib non-free to all sources in /etc/apt/sources.list aptitude update aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') fglrx-driver # Create dummy xorg.config to utilize the new driver aticonfig --initial # reboot
Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to find if your driver loaded correctly (should show up with lsmod/dmesg as well)
Setup xinit and rc.local startup
Setup X to allow automatic login (select any)
dpkg-reconfigure x11-common
Create ~/.xinitrc to autostart fluxbox:
exec startfluxbox
Add to /etc/rc.local to start without a loginmanager
su - <USERNAME> -c startx
After everything works, make XBMC autostart on login:
# Add to ~/.fluxbox/startup before 'exec fluxbox' xbmc &
