Hi,

I'm trying to use XBMC on my laptop, its a Toshiba Satellite with a Radeon HD5470 Mobility chip. Latest Eden build on Win7 64.

If I use software decoding, it stutters on some files. It's an I5, but it's still not good enough for smooth playback.

If I use DXVA, I just get a black screen with sound. This has been the same on all builds of XBMC since Dharma.

I can't use the catalyst drivers since ATI says they are incompatible, and I must use the OEM drivers. The OEM drivers haven't been updated since 2010.

What are my options?

I find the Catalyst drivers work on most setups. You can always boot to safe mode or roll them back if they don't.

It just won't install, says it can't find any compatible hardware. I did track down another "mobility" catalyst driver that did install, but then it said I already had the latest version (which is the Toshiba OEM version from 2010).

Any way to force a driver install?

Just to back up the horse a bit, the black screen - are you using Adjust display refresh rate to match video? Your laptop screen may not support other refresh rates and this would throw a black screen up.

I got the same problem, cannot find any solution, allready tried all the things metioned above.
