Hi,

how to achieve Linux GUI via Svideo?

I followed this: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu with Ubuntu 12.04.
My quick install script command:
sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdb --uboot “beagle_cx” --svideo-pal
I also installed like suggested LXDE:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lxde lxde-core lxde-icon-theme

My TV has auto switching option between PAL/NTSC turned on.

I see Linux start messages, this is last line I see on serial and TV:
[ 11.067443] init: ureadahead main process (194) terminated with status 5

and then on serial shows up login prompt,
on TV are some additional messages like starting some services with [OK] on right screen side(mounting network file system, filesafe boot delay…) and then screen goes black (with typical sound like turning off the source).

How to solve it?

Well it sounds like it was working (as text was shown and you did
everything correct.). But why did the tv go to sleep... I'm guessing
no amount of moving the mouse/keyboard/etc helped?

Please add "omapdss.debug=y" to your boot args and reboot.. Then over
serial "dmesg > dmesg.log" and upload that file to pastebin.com
(hopefully it shows something about the tv being shuttoff.)

Regards,
