Hi,

I seen a couple of post with regard to the AMD Radeon drivers. I guess that might be the root cause of my issue but I'd like to run it by you guys first before jumping into a conclusion. I'm want to try out xbmcbuntu on my new build for a HTPC. My build consists of the following,

Motherboard - ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+ (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813157464)

has 6 Sata ports

CPU - AMD A6-6400K Richland (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CPLG...UTF8&psc=1). It includes APU with Radeon HD 8470D

I'm tryied running xbmcbuntu live (xbmcbuntu-12.2.Intel-AMD.iso on a USB stick) on this build. It comes to this screen and just stays there. The cursur stuck at the top right corner. But I can move the mouse pointer around. Is this an issue because of the Radeon driver?



If I am to install xbmc on this machine what are my options if xbmcbuntu does not work.

Richland has no support either in Ubuntu 12.04 nor in Xmbcbuntu with the out of the box drivers.

It needs a really new fglrx driver or kernel 3.13 if you want to use OSS

Thanks for your response fritsch. Can I use the recipe you've posted on http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=174854 with Ubuntu 12.04 or should I go with 13.10. I'd prefer going with 12.04 because of the extended support.

I cant seem to find the mesa drivers for ubuntu amd64 (Trying this out on a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04). How can I get through this?

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:wsnipex/mesa
sudo apt-get update

The above gives an error

No - as the howto directly mentions: No 12.04 support - only Ubuntu Saucy.
