I use xbmc form svn-ppa on jaunty without major issues. Only ProjectM doesn't work for me currently. I'm using Nvidia GF2MX with nvidia-glx-96, so you might see a radeon driver bug. Do other GL Apps work for you ? Is direct Rendering working ? Tried disabling compiz ?

I think I can help narrow it down...
I have an EeeBox (atom n270 1.6GHz, Intel 945GME) running the Ubuntu 9.04 beta updated as of today (29/03 - kernel 2.6.28-11-generic, inteldriver version 2.6.3, Xorg version 7.4). I'm running the XBMC r19025 build from the Jaunty SVN PPA.
Connecting my monitor with dvi works fine, but if I use a dvi->vga adapter I get the same error as roadrash. The difference is that with the vga adapter connected, Xorg detects 2 monitors. An xorg.conf with a virtual monitor is automatically created, and if I connect with dvi using that xorg.conf I a) can't change resolution above 1024x768 and b) XBMC doesn't work.
I deleted the xorg.conf, but I'll try to get a new one and attach it here.
EDIT: Looking through trac, I wonder if patch 19026 and 19027 might fix the problem. My box takes too long to build, so I'll just wait for the updated PPA build.

Is there a way of disabling Compiz without losing all its settings ?
I've spent months on refining my favourite tweaks there.
Will I have to give that all up permanently in order to use XBMC ?

You could probably backup the configs for it probably located in your home directory.
