I have now tried the test PPA and only see a black screen (to be specific: no HDMI output at all shortly after booting but XBMC runs).
Maybe I did something wrong with the packages, no time tonight to debug...but I conform that the non-testing ppa had the problem - at least for me.
Running Radeon HD 8330 on Zotac Zbox AQ01
I just bought the same box. I do have problem with the BIOS HDMI initialization for my TV. Managed to install using a PC monitor with and hdmi/dvi cable and later connected to the TV back again. The BIOS HDMI initialization still fails, but Linux works after that (as soon as framebuffer driver is loaded). I have already contacted Zotac, but the box is too new: then have not enough problem records for the BIOS. Don't hesitate to report the problem directly including TV model (support page at zotacusa)
For those curious about what works: everything except XBMC vdpau accelerated decoding. But the board is capable to decode blueray material without acceleration fortunately.
First the software setup:
Debian unstable+experimental
Linux 3.13.2
mesa 10.1-rc1
radeon driver 7.3.0-1
glamor: 0.6.0
ffmpeg 2.1.3 (patched to expose a symbol that xbmc uses)
xbmc fernetmenta git master + amd branch last patch
I had no acceleration at the beginning because the radeon driver was compiled disabling glamor that is yet not packaged in Debian. So I had to find a glamor compatible package and rebuild the radeon driver with glamor enabled.
Now vdpauinfo reports what is expected, qvdpautest shows nice figures (still a bit low for H264) but playing with video vdpau acceleration just fails as if the same video sequence was played several time and then a new sequence starts and fails the same way. I have several
