Just wanted to share my experience upgrading to trusty from 12.04.4
Saved .xbmc/userdata folder
- Simply did apt-get purge on lightdm and xbmc, dpkg --remove on fglrx* and manually purged the config files
- then a do-release-upgrade -d
- and after that selectivly followed the tutorial on the first page installing some packages and xbmc
After that XBMC was playing like a champ again, the only thing I had to change was the zoom mode of my tv set which was set to Auto-fill before
and now I have to set it to unscaled otherwise it's zooming and unzooming at random.
All in all, an easy upgrade from a two year old LTS release
