nope and Xvba works, while mainline with vaapi is quite broken on AMD

yes, that's what I experienced with mainline on my AMD as well. thanks
an iso would be nice though ... :-) or is it ok to take any of your old iso with Xvba and just update xbmc from your ppa? (I'd like to avoid configuring auto login, auto start etc - takes me too long and I always get stuck at some point...)

Question - is fglrx 9.0.2 (ubuntu 12.10) - is that based on catalyst 12.9? Thanks

@tutu:
AMD does not talk about 12.xy anymore (though their downloads are still named like this), it talks about 9.x.y series. So the 12.9 Quantal is a whole lot newer than what you would expect. The userspace for example of 12.9Quantal supports xorg 1.13, where as fglrx 12.10 (9.0.1.something) does not.
You see - great confusion :-)
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Does it make a difference if I reinstall my system to 12.10 as a base for my xbmc htpc or is the 12.04 ubuntu base just as good. Would I get any benefits from it?
I am currently running a 12.04 that I have been running since this summer but since we moved into the the betas and rcs I have noticed that I am getting sync issues between my sound and my display that i never had before.
Seems to me that the sound is early in the beginning of a show.. dead on in the middle and late in the end.

Krautmaster: just for the record - am I getting right that this an installation without any graphical interface behind, so there's no way to e.g. browse the web?

Krautmaster: I tried your installation script, despite some struggles with German language :-) I managed to install it, thanks.
It looks just fine, but I wasn't able to connect it through secured wifi (it never prompted for a password) + after the installation the main XBMC menu is partially still in German. I did switch to English, most of the menu is in English, but items like BEENDEN, FILME, SERIEN, BILDER, MUSIK seem still German to me (in Aeon Nox; Confluence is fine)
I'll have a more detailed look tomorrow, it could be just my mistakes.

no no i recognized the same... any how the AEON Nox skin doenst switch to english - dont ask me why... buggy.
The Diffuse Skin does.
@ Wifi problems.
I got the same one day. I needed to choose cancle on wireless configuration, a error message will appear. After, i can select configure network again... and it works fine. When network is done it continues with the unattened install.
Need to figure out why this happens...
User is xbmc / pass too... btw - it is still normal ubuntu + xbmc. If u delete the .xbmc folder u have completely standard.
