Thanks a lot alanwww1 for this tutorial!
Now with your help i have xbmc and vaapi working with my Pentium G620T and my asus P8H61-I.
I just have a little problem : i can't play any video with 5.1 sound inside. Everytime XBMC said to me "Failed to initialize audio". Do you have an idea about that?
I am on Xubuntu 11.10!
Thanks

Great guide, thanks!
Will all this become unnecessary when Eden is released? In other words, will Eden have built in HW acceleration for Intel integrated graphics?

Hi there,
great guide, worked like a charm for me.
I have used renniewaldock ppa for installing xbmc....
Everything seems to work fine except shutting down or restarting.
When i press shut down, it reloads xbmc without a full reboot.
When i press restart, it also just re-loads xbmc without a full reboot.
Any idea what this might be? Could it be a renniewaldock problem or has it got to do with your autostart scripts?
I have written a guide myself (30 pages so far) which got some of your samples included. In my guide i have included installing sabnzbd, sickbeard, virtualbox, mysql and phpmyadmin. If you care to have a look, pm me..

Not using the official one cause at the time i started this guide for the first time, the nightlies for oneiric (11.10) weren't there yet...
They are now.. am installing from scratch now with official nightly...
Will update soon

ok finished the installation (a while ago...)...
It seems to be partially an issue with the renniewaldock build.
restart makes the machine restart, the post screen is showing so a clean reboot.
The shutdown does not shutdown the machine. It does a reload of xbmc, no post screen.
The suspend puts the machine to suspend after about 1 sec. very fast. It however doesn't seem to wake up properly, but I think i read somewhere that was a ubuntu oneiric problem.
The Hibernate function seems to function as a shutdown... After resuming from hibernate, the machine just does a clean roboot with post.
If you need more info, please let me know?

Suspend works fine for me with no problem at all. For reboot I always do it with ssh so I have not tried.
I can't help anymore. If you can find out the solution, please let us know so I can update the guide if unnecessary.
