ik checked that on my laptop, ATI Mobility Radeon X2300.
black screen.

lemmerun my work by you, just to be sure:
made a folder in windows explorer called "config" on USB livedisk
then made a file using notepad called "xconf.org"
and pasted your "code" into it. saved it.

then booted my systems using the boot-stick. black screen!
shame, cause I just cant waite to testdrive this XBMClive.

I am what you would call a linux dumbass, but i think the bolded section should be xorg.conf not xconf.org

give that a shot

thanks! did that! using notepad++

now it errors at:

cannot remove /home/xbmc/.xsession

I'll make a new USB-stick 2nite and add the xorg.conf file in unix format. See if it helps! thanks sofar!

I have noticed that this error occurs when there are errors in your xorg.conf

If we can get someone to make some specific RESTRICTEDDRIVERS_AMD.IMG
that relate specifically to a card or integrated motherboard that would be amazing
RESTRICTEDDRIVERS_AMD.IMG_780g is the one im looking for
RESTRICTEDDRIVERS_AMD.IMG_X1650
or RESTRICTEDDRIVERS_AMD.IMG_x850 would be nice too
but one that works with the 780g would help out a ton of people who bought boards specifically for this build

A bit overkill considering you just need a working xorg.conf for that, don't you think so?
And FYI int's not simply a matter of chipset or videocard, but also what kind of monitor you have connected to it!

I made a brand new xorg.conf and the systems boots just fine now.

Ati mobility X2300 works just fine now.

thanks man!

Still having problems? Boot with "safe" option, have a look at the unofficial ATI wifi config page and follow these instructions.

[linko]

Has anyone got it to run with 780G (HD3200) ?

[linko]

Nevermind, it's working now. Ran:
aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Btw, you cant run aticonfig in safe mode.
Only problem now is that I have no sound =)

I got it working with a Radeon 9550 but Im getting video corruption while playing a movie. Corruption is sort of weird beacuse the screen like divided in 4 parts (think playing multiplayer first person shooter) and the upper right quadrant is not corrupted the other three are. Any help will be appreaciated.

You'll need to do this:
Under /usr/share/xbmc/userdata i had to create advancedsettings.xml with this content

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <glrectanglehack>1</glrectanglehack>
</advancedsettings>

I have to get back on that comment. Everything works fine, untill I end the movie using "X" on my keyboard. Or by stopping it using te mouse pressing "STOP" in de controls.

The screen turns black. I still hear the controls in tha background, but there is no screen. When I kill the X using ALT-CTRL-BACKSPACE I get into the Windowmanager. I then start xbmc again using a Xterm.
