Ok thanx for this information, I'll do that whene I get home tonight.
By the way, on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, with Intel GPU there is a lot of tearing even with VSync is activated.
I saw that with my desktop and laptop wich both have Intel GPU with Intel Open Source Drivers.
Tested with Xbmc 13 Beta 4 and 12.3, tearing with both versions.

Most likely the backing store issue. We have fixed that by default on xbmcbuntu.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Yes, that's the reason I switched to XBMCBuntu. I was happy to see that the HD video playback was perfectly smooth.
I'll keep that until the realease of XBMC 13, then I'll disable the unstable PPA to stable.

So I put this line:
+xserver-command=/usr/bin/X -bs -nolisten tcp
In this file ?
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Then I restart the computer for apply the change ? Or this will work directly ?

grrr, if you write that + in there, I will happily set you on the ignore list. Please think(!) when you do something. The "+" is from the patch as ... + means: add line - means: remove line.
On a normal Ubuntu system it could also be in /etc/lightdm/ligthdm.conf.d/10-ubuntu-something. Just find the Seat Defaults and write that line under it (without (!) the +) ... you need of course to reboot / restart lightdm and verify Xorg.0.log to have BackingStore disabled.
Btw. take care with your mailserver, if you already fail at patching / editing a single text file.

Be cool, I'm not familiar with this way to write a file. Now I've learn a usefull thing thank to you, but no reason to be condescending with me.
On my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in /etc/lightdm I have only "user.conf".

new build beta4 is available, but changelog is minimal(see OP). There is no need to reinstall your system, if everything is working.

Hey guys,
I got XBMC 12 running on my Intel Haswell HTPC. Is there an easy way to upgrade to latest 13 beta without a complete reinstall?
thanks,
boba

On Ubuntu 14.04, it's in this file you have to add the line.
/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-xserver-command.conf

Hi Everyone!
I see in the release notes for beta 4 that .asoundrc is removed, as I use an Intel NUC and would also like to play some steam games from time to time, how do I enable sound again on the XBMCBuntu desktop?
In the previous beta, sound drivers were provided by ALSA, which relies on .asoundrc to have sound on the normal xbmcbuntu desktop (don't quote me on that, I just read that in some threads here on the XBMC forums).
So, with that file gone, I don't have any sound when I'm on the desktop or use a program outside of XBMC.
Anybody any ideas?
