In deed curious. No idea. First seen that issue ever.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Guys, I need some help. I went through the install process to setup my new system. I get to the XBMC black screen with the dots and it doesn't go any further. The motherboard I purchased was a ASROCK|FM2A75 PRO4-M A75 (Radeon HD 7000) w/ what I thought was intergrated graphics using the AMD A4 6300 CPU. It should work fine together. Now I am not so sure. Can anyone take a look at the info below and tell me if something is wrong here?

XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering.
Install an appropriate graphics driver.
Update: I did install the Ubuntu mini.iso and was able to get xbmc to load right after running the script in the instructions. Although, there is an AMD unsupported hardware logo in the bottom right corner. When I continue on with the setup process in this thread, it will no longer load XBMC.

Restart the howto from scratch.

Hi everybody,
I followed this thread with growing enthusiasm. This weekend I will change from fglrx to radeon I think after being more and more disappointed from the fglrx driver.
Has anybody with radeon and vdpau tried pipelight? With the fglrx driver I tried to get the gpu acceleration for lovefilm.de (pipelight with silverlight) working without success and as a result the video are extremly slow and crappy. Any experiences would be great.
Ben

@beschmid:
Whenever fglrx appears in your log, you have done something wrong. When there is an unsupported watermark in the corner, you even have a full blown fglrx installed.

No - out of one, two, three reasons:
a) The first 4 weeks new Ubuntu versions have bugs like hell
b) oibaf has not yet made his ppa available for 13.10
c) There is absolutely _no_ benefit in 13.10 - as we exchange kernel and we exchange complete X stack
