Linux HOW-TO: Automated efficient XBMC install - Ubuntu 12.10/13.04 mini based
oh i know about modelines. i got that all setup in my xorg. my micro skipping is with flac audio playback that is multichannel. its intermittent though. i think i might have nailed it down. more testing is needed. it just cropped up recently as i did a re-install cuz i had some extra hdds so i setup a raid 0 Tongue although i think might is 23.976767676. i'm using custom ones in my xorg. so i should just comment those out and see what xrandr spits out? or do i need to find the modeline for that refresh rate?

also on another note. do you have any idea why this script reports alsa-base and alsa-utils are installed on 13.10 when in fact they are not? I know i can just through an apt-get install -y alsa-utils and alsa-base. i just dont understands bram77's fucntion hes got going on in that script that checks if a package is installed. I ran the command but the output was not what i was expecting... i was expecting a <packagename> "1" or "0" but there is a bunch o stuff. i'll get output once i'm done installing 13.10 again (rolled back for testing)

i'll post the xrandr as well. just cuz i've always wondered which EXACT modeline to use lol

until i can actually run xbmc-randr again here is my xorg.
