RetroPie-Problem solved. Before i saw your last post i tried opening a terminal in the gui and start emulationstation from there and voila it's working.
So edit your Advanced Launcher Emulationstation Paramenter entry from

Code:

emulationstation

to

Code:

gnome-terminal -e emulationstation

and emulationstation has a shell to display it's messages and run as expected.

and going through my bash-history

Code:

sudo apt-get install libvdpau-va-gl1 i965-va-driver vdpauinfo
sudo apt-get install xf86-video-intel lib32-mesa-libgl lib32-libva-intel-driver
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:wsnipex/vaapi
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio libasound2-plugins:i386

weren't mentioned here, but lag-free video is possible ootb with Kodibuntu 14.04.
Do you already have installed the latest bios-update?
Have you checked if you have one of those ZBoxes with the not removed plastic from the CPU-cooler? And yes it needs disassembling the device, but if there is no guarantee on it...

Which codecs are used in those stuttering videos?
and the most easy one: do you use a Refresh-Rate with a multiplier from the video you play? e.g. 1080p50Hz for PAL or 1080p59.94Hz for NTSC...

and my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
