Here is how I did it:
System: Asus E35M1-I DELUXE
Video out: DVI
Audio out: S/PDIF Out (optical)
System: Ubuntu 11.10 x64 Installation CD (no minimal for me)
1. Install Ubuntu
2. Boot to system and (optional) install good old aptitude as package manager
3. Update system to latest packages via (apt-get might have different commands)
Code:sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade -y
4. Add new source for libva:
Code:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
5. Update sources:
Code:sudo aptitude update
6. Before installing latest ATI drivers (11.10):
Code:sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases ia32-libs
7. Install latest ATI driver:
Code:cd ~/; mkdir catalyst11.10; cd catalyst11.10/
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-10-x86.x86_64.run
chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-10-x86.x86_64.run
sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-10-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/oneiric
sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
8. Generate new X11 config and activate tear-free
Code:sudo aticonfig --initial -f
sudo aticonfig --sync-video=on
9. Reboot the system
10. Check driver installation (should say something like: OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon ...):
Code:fglrxinfo
11. Install libva:
Code:sudo apt-get install xvba-va-driver libva-glx1 vainfo
12. Update environment:
Code:sudo nano /etc/environment
Code:LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=xvba
LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/va/drivers
13. Add user to video and audio:
Code:sudo adduser YourUserName video
sudo adduser YourUserName audio
14. Install xbmc (I used Rennie):
Code:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-nightly
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install xbmc
15. Reboot the system
16. Start xbmc and set Audio to "Digital/Optical" and ATI Southbridge as digital throughput
I hope everything is correct (did this from my memory) and hope it helps some other guys out there.

did you try 1080p24hz playback?

idtjes3 Wrote:Seriously, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS POST ! I have spent nearly everyday after work and all weekend for the past month trying to get my system up and running and this guide was finally the step-by-step procedure that worked!.....for the most part.. I am still having a few issues though. MTroi, are you experiencing any of the following with your setup?
idtjes3 Wrote:If I turn on 'Adjust display refresh rate to match video', everything seems to work well. However if I try to fast forward, when I stop the video is choppy and not watchable. If I pause and let it 'buffer', the video is still choppy. All HD and SD content plays fine otherwise. Sometimes after fast forwarding XBMC will freeze and I have to reboot from terminal. Other times XBMC will freeze on the main menu and I have to reboot via terminal. In this mode its like playing with a time bomb. Its not bad because I know how to fix it but when the GF is home alone trying to use XBMC, I cant have it crashing on her.
idtjes3 Wrote:If I tun off 'Adjust display refresh rate to match video', most of my HD @ 24hz stuff works flawlessly (resolution in ati catalyst set to 1080p @ 24hz probably helps ). For some reason a few HD programs ( An Idiot Abroad which according to 'xbmc info' is @ 60hz) will be too choppy and unwatchable. A few SD programs will be OK (some HD broadcast converted to SD) while some will constantly loop between playing normal and like jumping a few frames (The Kids in the Hall old SD). Despite all this, menu navigation has never crashed on me while in this video mode.
idtjes3 Wrote:Off a tangent for a sec...Over the last month with nothing but problems trying to get ATI hardware to work with XBMC, learning Ubuntu, ditching Ubuntu for Windows Server 03, Learning Windows Sever 03 is complete shite for this sort of thing, Going back to Ubuntu, I often wonder if its all worth it. Seems I could spend $40 bucks on an NVIDIA card, slap it in my setup, and be done with it. Obviously the point of this thread is to get ATI hardware acceleration to work, but why if it takes weeks of trouble shooting for the new to average user after which its still not perfect nor guaranteed to work? Thoughts? /end rant.

Oh well, going back to 11.04 where things were more simple.
wsnipex Wrote:There is nothing "more simple" in natty. Actually its the other way round, in natty you must install a couple of things from external ppas, in oneiric everything is in the official repos.
