Thanks for your help. glxinfo says
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 an AMD PALM
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 10.0.0-devel

tried your suggestion r600 as well, no changes.

@fritsch
tried ubuntu mini. can't install it. after selecting "install" from the start menu, my usb keyboard doesn't work anymore.

I won't release any further kernels. At the End of November this howto will be obsolete, as all the bits are either a) in mainline xbmc b) in linux kernel c) in mesa.

Ooohkey. Can you suggest me what i should do at the end of November? I need a "usable" desktop linux with fluent xbmc on my AMD Radeon 6320 machine. Do I have to catch an ubuntu based linux version with kernel number X (will it be 3.13 then?), install xbmc gotham and I'm good to go?

Thank you for your effort.


Edit: my solution i found while waiting in case someone's got the same problem: fritch was right, linuxmint (cinnamon in my case) was a too "full blown" installation. tried xubuntu 13.10 and redid the howto from page 1 -> everything went well. Can't tell if it's really just the window manager that makes a difference though.
