Howdy,
Sorry for confusion, if you read about the OSS drivers here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver, they show my radeon 4200 in the "fully supported" column, but i've noticed that the xbmc posts specifically ask for uvd2.2
anyhow, why do you say I need a different xbmc? I thought this script installs gotham ... Is helix only for oss and not the older fglrxes? Like if i get gotham, 13.0 going well on this machine, i will never update to 14/helix because it's made for different drivers?
i might just try the xbmcbuntu gui install and see if that gets everything going fast enough. I was just really impressed with openelec's speed but i wanted window manager for emulators. but maybe xbmcbuntu will be fast enough.
I must say openelec installed with hdmi bitstreaming. not sure if the igp was doing any heavy lifting but i got hdmi dolby surround out of the deal. Ultimately, would you suggest windows, so i can get "full" hardware support?
