Hi all,
I've just tried to install XBMCbuntu, twice.
I'm using my old laptop - a compaq presario v2000 with an AMD sempron and ati radeon xpress 200M.

The problem I'm having is that any time i try to open XBMC. Of course, this makes me very sad :`-(

I have no idea what's going on. I suspected graphics driver, so I tried to follow the instructions here : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=152670

however, even with fglrx-legacy drivers, xbmc still doesn't work.

here's my crash log, let me know if there's any other info that would help.

You can use XBMC10.1 Dharma, but there's issues getting AddOns and Scrapers to work.

Bodhi Linux / XBMC works well with Compaq Presario.
I followed this guide:

I now have Presario V2000 running XBMC 12

For Old ATI Graphics in Bodhi, this worked for me:
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) pkg-config ~(Optional for building other Video Drivers)~
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* xorg-driver-fglrx
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
sudo reboot

Install XBMC:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ~(This breaks broadcom wifi)~
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol ubuntu-restricted-extras xbmc

Set XBMC to auto-login:
sudo su
sed -i 's/last/#last/'g /etc/lxdm/default.conf
echo "session=xbmc" >> /etc/lxdm/default.conf
echo "lang=en_GB" >> /etc/lxdm/default.conf
exit
