Hello all! this is my first post on this forum so I hope it will be useful!
I recently installed XBMC 9.11 from sources on my brand new htpc running Slackware 64bit [Linux] and using a Radeon HD5570 video card.
I am using the ATI Catalyst 10.11 driver installed according to ATI's info. All went well.
XBMC runs well, but I am experiencing some video problems... First of all, the videos are playing choppy. I activated the FPS on-display feature and noticed the FPS is constantly fluctuating between 99 FPS and 285 FPS... This was while playing a HD video. VLC plays the video very well and reports the video format to be H264-MPEG 4 AVC (part 10) (avc1) at 1920x1080 and 23.976216 FPS.
Second problem is heavy color corruption. The whole movie will either play in magenta or cyan and colors will be rapidly switching between gray and magenta (purple) or cyan...
Third problem is some sharp horizontal splits in the picture.. Its difficult to explain but it seems that whenever the FPS gets too high, the image does not refresh fast enough to display the whole frame at the same time, the picture end up with a portion not refreshed and the other portion refreshed...
I need to mention the fact that XBMC creates a crash log in my home folder on every start... except that, it seems to run fine (does not freeze, hang or crash).
I would appreciate some guidance as to how to fix these problems...

Thanks to all!
