I had this exact problem.... but I solved it.

I started File Browser (Places -->Home Folder). Under the menu item View, selected "Show Hidden Files". Scrolled down to the .xbmc folder and double clicked it. Then double clicked the scripts folder. I noticed the Common Scripts entry showed as a broken link. I right clicked on Common Scripts and determined that it should point to /usr/share/xbmc/scripts . I opened Terminal and entered cd /usr/share/xbmc. There was no scripts sub-directory so I created one using mkdir.

Now XBMC at least starts. That's as far as I have gone at this point.

G'luck all,
Gamb00ler

Your log seems to show that there is a bug in your video drivers

to #2, can you be more specific. I'm not that good with terminal work
