I'm getting this same error on a Radeon RV200 chipset. I'm not a C++ or OpenGL developer, but I did some digging to see if I could narrow down what might be causing the issue. First, the error is getting tripped in ./xbmc/rendering/gl/RenderSystemGL.cpp at line 205:

Code:

// lines 201 - 207
    //some sanity checks
    GLenum error = glGetError();
    if (error != GL_NO_ERROR)
    {
      CLog::Log(LOGERROR, "ResetRenderSystem() GL_MAX_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS_ARB returned error %i", (int)error);
      maxtex = 3;
    }

According to this thread, error 1280 is GL_INVALID_ENUM. Based on my various Google searches, it might actually be safe to ignore it.

It's obvious that this is affecting old hardware, but isn't that what Linux media projects are for?

UPDATE: I filed a bug report in Trac with as much information as I have. I'm trying to hack around the bug on my own, but I'm hampered by a very slow compile process and an extreme lack of knowledge in Linux app development. :O
