Hi all,

I have to start this post thanking wsnipex, guilmxm, Bram77, and all the others who have help the community in this question of AMD APUs in linux. I'm a newcomer to linux world, so all this is hard for me, but I'm making a big effort and investing a lot of time to learn and improve my knowledge and skills.

I'm posting since after a lot of hours and days working on it, I'm really desesperated and don't know how to go on, so I ask advice to all the gurus in this forum.

What do I want

I'm using Linux mint 14 cinnamon on an AMD Zacate/Ontario system, and I want to have XBMC installed for use it as HTPC, but I also want to maintain que complete S.O. so I can use the computer for internet browsing, torrent download, libreoffice and other tasks.

¿What have I done?

I've been during days and days working on it, I've try the wsnipex reccomendations, and then the ones of guilmxm. In all cases I have a problem running one of the terminal's task or video is not correctly played once installed (I've try all the radeon versions, automatically, 12.10, 12,09, and the rest.)

What's the problem?

Using the Bram77 script XBMC works ok, and all videos goes ok, but something weird happends:

-When I install all with the script and I restart, on first boot when I exit XBMC system hangs and I have to reset via reset button. On later boots everything works fine.

The question is that I don't want XBMC to "capture" the system, I want computer to book on Linux desktop and be able to use other applications, that is, having XBMC as another application.

So I remove from script the selectXbmcStartupMethod function and I get Linux + XBMC, but then, after the first boot I menctioned when system hangs on xbmc exit, I have problems with some videos (around 20%-30 mkvs tested).

All videos works fine on first boot after installation, but when trying to exit XBMC and system hangs, on later exits of xbmc it does't happend, but then I have the problem with the videos.

It's really weird, sometimes after system hang and restart, videos works ok and xbmc exit succesfully, but on second or third XBMC problem with videos appears.

Could be some Linux Mint 14 resident program cause the problem I think that since when installing complete script and only have the XBMC (not linux desktop and programs) it works OK, but I need complete system.

This is the problem with videos:



I really would thank advices and help.

Thanks
