I already checked every step from the howto. startxbmc.sh exists exactly as described in the hwoto. Also xbmc does start, but then the flickering disco starts.

Why do not we have a GUI tool which helps people(covering from the beginner to expert) to select different version of the videodriver to be installed. If I want to use the open source driver just click on it and it does it for me/if I want to go back to Catalyst it will just happen. It would be good if I can test different Catalyst drivers and Open source drivers and the whole system just remain stable. The code should check all dependency and fix all errors (as I heard) catalyst can cause? Why this cannot be done? Is it complex? We do not have anybody who can help coding it? It can not be done. etc I would appreciate if somebody can tell me truth. I am not an expert, so forgive me If I am asking basic things, however my goal is to make Linux more popular and If I see that I cannot do it I feel we are just not there to get Linux popular despite many people try to help. Thank you, Kind regards, Lajos Nagy RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-22 @In17: Many things are nice to have. But time does not allow it. @Endeavour79: Thx for the radeontool output. Those were what I expected - as you use the kernel without the (faulty) PLL patch. This radeon.audio=1 removal was a test, yes you need to reput it in to have audio. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wsnipex - 2013-10-22 maybe the howto is not clear about one simple thing: This is bleeding edge code and absolutely EXPERIMENTAL. If you don't feel comfortable enough to follow the howto, help debugging and fix a few issues yourself, then don't do it. Instead wait until everything is figured out properly, is stable and available via standard linux repositories. @In1: we could spend our time writing such tools instead of solving the real issue. What you are asking for is already available in ubuntu(its called jockey), but it doesn't work with completely experimental stuff. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - ln17 - 2013-10-22 Furthermore, it would be good if there is an option which allows the installer to be participant in the test program which means all the required log files automatically would be sent to the developers for further review. (like the steam beta allows you to do it). Fritsch: reading your tremendous quantity of comments to help people to fix problems enlighten to me, maybe this would be the best for you ( and other clever guys) to save time as you do not need request the log files you will just receive it and you can select what you need. Unfortunately I am not there yet to help in analyzing the errors. Think about it. If I can help somehow I will do so. Something else it is not clear to me. Many open source developers work to AMD directly. I expect if they work in the same office/same company how do they do not know how the catalyst works. Do they do not have access to different department codes? RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wsnipex - 2013-10-22 read my reply above. And AMD OSS devs indeed do not have access to the fglrx code, for several reasons. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - ln17 - 2013-10-22 Thank you I read it.One more thing. They gave the UVD code to the OSS devs to get the open source driver better. Catalyst is far behind in video decoding. Why is this code not part of Catalyst? Thank you I read it.One more thing.
