Thats a xbmc bug, other things are wimp.

Does anyone found a "cure"? Even heared about one?

Thank you for the reply, I did some research and this is what I miss:

Code:

libgl-dev libglu-dev libglew-dev libjpeg-dev libsamplerate-dev libfontconfig-dev libasound-dev libpng-dev libsdl-dev libcurl-dev libcrystalhd-dev

How to retrieve all?

See OP or text file posted in this topic for build instructions.

Thx again.
It's my last post I hope...
Now, I run XBMC, but if, i choose VAAPI in settings when I launch movie XBMC crash, and if i don't choose VAAPI, XBMC runs (whithout VAAPI of course :/)
Do you have any idea for this problems? (it's not in the OP and README)
(And, sorry if i must create a topic for this, delete this answer and i do topic)

That's also in this topic somewhere. But what versions (linux, kernel, drivers, etc) are you running? Also check your logs (start with xbmc.log +old) to see what is happening...

Ubuntu: 11.04
Kernel: 2.6.38 (I can't change for .39)
Drivers: Ati catalyst 11.6 (OpenGL 4.1.1.10834)

XBMC tries to load vaapi but last lines relate to audio. Have you configured alsamixer?

If xbmc crashes according to vaapi and the reason are the missing environment file entries, then no ERROR log entry would be in the crash log of xbmc.

At least it was so in my case.

Due to the fact that xbmc would run without vaapi is enabled, i think it can't be the audio settings Smile

If everything looks ok (vainfo ,etc) try to remove xorg.conf and do "aticonfig --initial -f".
