Hi,

Today i tried to avoid the vertical sync problem in ubuntu 14.04 ovr a ivybridge intel graphics embedded adapter..
After a lot of googleing i only found 2 possible solution and i test both.
One patch the SDL driver and another installing Oibaf drivers https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers/.
After doing both things XBMC stopped working with this error:
01:15:05 T:139887050888960 NOTICE: Thread PeripBusUSBUdev start, auto delete: false
01:15:06 T:139887476377536 NOTICE: Setup SDL
01:15:06 T:139887476377536 FATAL: XBAppEx: Unable to initialize SDL: No available video device

Then i go back to the oiginal driver and i've reinstalled intel drivers, xbmc, several times and libsdl-gfx without success.

(I'm using XBMC Gotham Stable release)

Any ideas?

Not sure if it will help.

you must disable the X11 backing store. How to do this depends on how you start xorg or xbmc.

for lightdm see: https://github.com/xbmc/XBMCbuntu/commit...fe67979347

edit: no need to patch SDL if backing store is disabled.
