The issue is the XVBA repo. It breaks aticonfig (symlinks aren't created) and results in the "please reinstall the driver".

You need to report that to the ppa itself or to wsnipex, trac is only used for XBMC related bugs, this is not (if it is a bug at all)
The workaround for this is

Hello
I have the same problem as doverosx using amd HD4770.
After installing xbmcbuntu beta 2 with lubuntu 12.04, everthing works fine. Upgrading xbmc version through mainstream or xvba repos kills amd driver.
I'm not and advanced linux user so I'm having trouble solving this.
regards

To me.....after updating with both the main and the xba repos, my resolution is locked to 640x480 and, when I launch XBMC, the message stating OpenGL drivers are needes appears

You guys are updating your gfx driver with those commands and obviously breaking it. go moan at AMD for screwing you so hard!
So you see
The following packages will be upgraded:
**snip** fglrx-amdcccle-updates fglrx-updates **snip**
The solution is to downgrade the driver to your previous version manually

Well the commands are a copy and paste (IIRC ppl have failed to use that PPA even on 12.10), Im not even a ATI user here so at best my advice is to block the updates on drivers and go moan to AMD.
I removed the commands since they are for 12.10 and so far no one has come back with a working install using that either.
My interest here was purely to get you guys going with a working install (target achieved) and that's where my buck stops as I have 0 motivation for something which I dont have (AMD/ATI Gpu)
Its up to you guys to take it from here. I also updated my workaround

Hi All,
Just thought I'd offer my experience on this one. I too had exactly the same symptom of the problem. On a fresh installation of XBMCbuntu V12 the xbmc would crash immediately upon logon and return me to the login screen. Logging into the xbmcbuntu windows interface worked fine. I have a Radeon ATI 3450 card. I tried installing the latest drivers from the ATI/AMD website but this didn't help.
I actually managed to work round the problem by installing Ubuntu 12.10 instead and then xbmc on top afterwards using apt-get. Having installed MythTV backend also I now have a working setup.
Not sure why this worked, given the diagnosis made earlier in the thread, but I can vouch that it does!
Cheers,
Kris.

Ubuntu 12.10 and ATI 3450 will NOT work out of the box. You'll need to use the fglrx-legacy ppa(which worked last time I tested it)
