Hello everyone, we're interested in building media centre based on XBMC and ASRock QC5000-ITX/WiFi. Do you have any experience with this setup? Is it still too new to work with XBMC smoothly? It has integrated AMD Radeon HD 8330 Graphics, UVD 4.2. Do we need to use proprietary drivers for this? Thank you for any info, guys.

Hi wsnipex, thank you very much for your reply. Do you mean by that, that I need to use proprietary drivers for this or I can use this guide and oss drivers built in standard kernel provided by Ubuntu? Thanks for clarification! K

XBMC has never supported this fglrx crap officially. wsnipex says that radeon open source driver supports HD8330.

Any key improvements in the upcoming 3.18 Kernel linux from a DRM/Radeon perspective if someone is already running 3.17?

HDMI Audio fixes - nothing else that I spotted.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Im trying to use the above. however Im getting "unable to locate package kodi..." when trying to install kodi. Im guessing this is a repository issue. I used the 1b option when installing using the how to.

Yeah, read again what I have written :-) - Version 1b people don't get kodi, cause they want 13.2 stable.

No idea - I did not write that code :-) Just saw the changelog on phoronix - if you find it, link it please.
