I've just bought an Acer Revo RL70 (AMD E450 Radeon HD 6320) and installed XBMCbuntu 11.0.
Unfortunately, any 1080p .mkvs I play are showing artifacts and tearing making them unwatchable. I've tried virtually all combinations of video playback settings in xbmc without success.
Has anyone else got this setup and is able to play 1080p ok? Can anyone offer advice as to what might be causing this? GPU acceleration seems to be working as CPU usage is only about 30%.
I've noticed that the AMD drivers that come with this are quite old, but I've had no success in updating them at all, as all of the instructions I've found don't seem to work, possibly because xbmcbuntu is subtly different to other setups.
Can anyone advise how to update the graphics drivers in xbmcbuntu?
As you can probably tell, I'm a complete newbie at all of this and had hoped that it would be a simple matter of tweaking a few settings and off you go...at the moment I'm about to throw the thing out of the window
I've been reading forums for three days solid without finding the answer. Thanks for any help you can offer...I'm desperate!
