Update, moving power supply for HTPC away from HDMI cable reduced noise and some green flash/flickering, then turning off 'match display to video' in playback settings and now seems golden. Stoked.
------------
Update, unresolved again, video flickering has come back. Running unstable/SID now. See bottom post for update.
----------
UPDATE RESOLVED = GET JESSIE, FORGET WHEEZY.
----------
So I've spent the better part of three days trying all sorts of combinations of xorg.conf files but don't seem to have cracked it.
Am trying to get gpu acceleration going.
Haswell i3-4130 chip on gigabyte H87-wifi itx board. Dual HDMI out, + one DVI out.
TV is a Sony 42".
No xorg.conf = xbmc loads and plays everything at 1920x.... but it stutters on video and sound every few seconds and cpu usage is around 80%.
xorg with vesa or fb = same as above.
xorg.conf specify device with intel = no devices or no screens found.
Any suggestions much appreciated. soo close!
