      Hi everyone! I installed last RetroPie on an old #x86 Ubuntu (15.04) station, with Ratpoison as WM and XBMC 13 (Gotham). Use Advanced Launcher Plugin to start emulationstation and it works fine but, when made click on a game , a #black_screen apears and came back to emulationstation menu.
      So, I decided connect via SSH to this PC with the same user, exported DISPLAY variable and run emulationstation. After that, everythings work perfect. Games run as spected. emulationstation too.
      I try debugging this without success.
      Can somebody give me a clue?
      Thanks a lot.
