@Snippo -- curious to know what drivers XBMC thinks it is using.

can you post your xbmc.log
@Snippo
Your X.Org driver is older than mine.
You are using 13.x I have 14.1
May be this the problem?
@fritsch, I noticed that you say in this latest kernel, there is "Radeon_si patch"

what exactly is this for? still dealing with the artifacts in the XBMC GUI.
I keep an eye on this page -- http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/GalliumStatus/

I'm currently using the HD 8xxxD series -- which is part of the radeonsi (AMD Southern Islands).

when i look under /usr/lib/dri/ directory, there is nothing about the radeonsi drivers. Is this the default driver being used?
@locomot1f: http://sprunge.us/aeJd

It came up in this thread and some told it helps, so I applied it.

Thanks for your feedback.

Edit: Please upgrade to rc7+ and file a bug at freedesktop with your findings. Thanks very much.

am on rc7 and am curious why I don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.. Huh
Cause, you don't need one.

These are the logs when I do "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1280x720" after boot, screen stays black.

xbmc.log

If I try to start xbmc with "xinit /usr/bin/xbmc" it crashes to terminal and the whole system freezes.
Do you really need those extra kernel boot options ragarding hpet? Try without them.
@fritsch. FYI. I tried mainline kernel 3.12rc7 watched a 720p 23.976 video with match refresh rate/sync dupe drop. Audio was quite good with few dupe/drops noted. Best in some time. Saw this discussion over 24p says fixed so I tried it:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.vid...evel/92049
Is it because I do not passthrough and use pulse that I don't get the 1:46 audio drops? TV is a Sony.. I also have hot plug pin disconnected in my HDMI cable from fglrx days.
Fritsch, FYI.. Kernel rc7+ reintroduced the screen disco (2sec flickering)

Everything is cake on this except lirc. cannot get my zotac remote to work for nothing, out of the box it works as a keyboard, with most of the buttons working except for info, home, menu, pause, none of the colored buttons or numbers.
anyone else run into this? ive installed plain jane lirc, and special modified lirc with zotac driver and no dice. rolled back to my old installation and it works just fine, so it has to be something with this installation, as ive tried complete reinstalls 5 times. i cant bear to do it again, lol. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance!
@Endeavour79: That is funny. Are you speaking of the 0.1 from the howto or the later one?

@snmp: http://youresuchageek.blogspot.de/2012/0...linux.html <- check _only_ the lirc part. This is for the internal receiver, the external usb one does not need anything. For further issues, open a new topic.

@gradinaruvasile: Check what the different linux timers do. Some hints (check which one can in no way run backwards or slower for a specific period of time).

For the brave with audio offset, please try a plain ubuntu mainline kernel from here:

Code:
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-rc7-saucy/linux-headers-3.12.0-031200rc7-generic_3.12.0-031200rc7.201310271935_amd64.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-rc7-saucy/linux-headers-3.12.0-031200rc7_3.12.0-031200rc7.201310271935_all.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-rc7-saucy/linux-image-3.12.0-031200rc7-generic_3.12.0-031200rc7.201310271935_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i *031200rc7*deb

You might have to remove your currently installed rc7+ before.

Install the 3 files (2 times 64 bit and the _all package). Afterwards disable dts-hd, truehd, eac3 and set your speaker numbers to 2.0.

And make some DTS/AC3 whatever tests, also _with_ Adjust Refreshrate to match video and Sync Playback to Display (Video Clock, Drop / Dupe) enabled.

Thanks for your help.

What I need exactly:
dmesg | pastebinit
xbmc.log with debugging turned on, while playing AC3 or DTS for a bit of time.
