For the openSUSE xbmc users reading this thread:
NOTE the following important changes in my howto. You should also adapt your installation accordingly!
##### Recent CHANGES ######
- switched the packman-repo from factory to 13.1
- switched the mesa repo from pontostroy (now version v 10.1 git) to tobijk (version 10.0 RC2) to stabilize stuff
I recommend to also switch those, as Mesa 10.1 and packman factory are unstable. After every repo-change do a "sudo zypper dup"

Hi,
in the past I have complained about some issues in XBMC, related to temperature measurements.
I wish to apologize, as the actual problem was due to undocumented chipset used in Asus F2A85 motherboard (and similar from asus).
According to the latest news, there's support in kernel 3.12, thus the problem is gone.
Latest tests on xbmc and mesa are very good, and also interlaced videos play well on my iMac.
I understood that every new feature will be available in the mainstream soon, thus my strategy now is to wait for Lubuntu 14.04LTS
When ready, I'll try to add the hacked driver for remote control.
Thanks guys.

You probably need an even newer kernel. Never had a R7 myself somewhere. It's quite new, right?

And - the important part: How did they work?

Dithering is a manual xrandr option. Yeah I am running it also since the weekend. No issues yet.

Logfiles or it never happened :-) (we had that before, right?)
