Linux corrupt display
#1
Hi all,
tried to install xbmc on a debian htpc (currently running mythtv no probs combined front/back end). Tried both the stable and unstable version from deb-multimedia.org and both end up with corrupt display as in the screen shot. Only option to exit is to kill the process though ssh.
I'm sure that it's a resolution setting, but I can't figure it out.
Running on a Panasonic Viera LCD with 720p resolution over HDMI. Radeon 3000 / RS780


Any pointers?

Bad drivers downgrade. Xorg need to be 1.11 and the Video drivers one massive gen before, something around forum describes this, you look you shall find.
