I see lots of unplayable items in your home directory. Even the mp4 file that gets "half" opened, does not want to open vdpau at all.
Yes, i have another user but i executed the command "sudo usermod -a -G cdrom,audio,video,plugdev,users,dialout,dip mcenter". I saw the messages of the unplayable items in the logs but the videos are fine, i can play it with VLC. Is there any way to know of why XBMC tells that the videos are unplayable?

Is that why my a4 3400 plays h.264 29.97i (59.94) much better on 10.02? Or can just expect even better performance soon?

After reading about these promissing results I decided to wipe my old installation and follow the howto.
I came across the issue that xbcm does not get started automatically. Starting it manually gives;
---
Error: unable to open display
XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering.
Install an appropriate graphics driver
---
When I try the command startx, Xorg does not start with the MESA drivers but is crashed (photo:

Thanks in advance!
did you delete your old installation? in my case I had to format the drive completely otherwise residual files interefered...

That's brilliant - I tested on my Kabini.

mesa upgraded to 10.0.3 + this patch in the test PPA. Feedback welcome
thanks wsnipex!
i was about to really mess up and try to apply this patch to the kernel.
lol :-)
Edit: @locomot1f: Does it work? If yes, the packages can be copied over. What's your speed improvement?
it does work... no flickering. videos play smoothly.
i don't have qvdpautest installed, so I can't give you any real numbers -- sorry :/
Hmmm I'd give it a test but I'm not sure if it will break my 'kinda working' MPEG-2 ;D

Yes, I did format the partition .... It is a clean saucy-mini installation as the tutorial tells to do.
installed the test ppa
EDIT: so far no playback problems.
