Has anyone had any luck working around this issue? I tried the code changes suggested by Charly (I also have a mobility 9600), but there was no change for me; I still have a green screen and 2fps when playing video.

Try the latest SVN and see if the issue persists. If it does, please provide a gdb backtrace (if it crashes) and paste your xbmc.log.

BTW, don't forget to revert any local changes you might have made (see tips below).

Hi,
Compiled the latest SVN, but I don't see any video
Here are some pieces from XBMC.LOG:

Ubuntu 7.10, installed restricted drivers for ATI card.
(Without those restriced drivers, i have video-playback, but only in green color. FPS is about 23-25 then).

[maudib]

Latest SVN (r11367) locks up xbmc completely instead of green screen.

I get this in system log:

Code:

[  239.680000] [fglrx:firegl_free_mutex] *ERROR* mutex id 0x00000002 not found in mutex list
[  242.100000] [fglrx:firegl_free_mutex] *ERROR* mutex id 0x00000002 not found in mutex list
[  243.780000] [fglrx:firegl_free_mutex] *ERROR* mutex id 0x00000002 not found in mutex list

I'll see if I can produce some kind of stack trace.

[maudib]

Not sure how to get the stack trace since xbmc doesn't crash but just locks up?!


I did find this in xbmc.log tho which is the last entries:

[cleanrock]

i get same in log as maudib
video is a garbage still picture

time for a dev to get a ATI card

[TheWoert]

Is there anything we can do to help debug this problem ?
I really would like to use my laptop (with ATI GPU) to run XBMC.

[d4rk]

Please give r11435+ a shot and report back. Note that a 'make clean' is required if you're doing a manual build.

Fresh install Ubuntu 7.10
ATI Radeon Mobility 9600/9700 serie chip.
Installed restricted driver, and FULL-COLOR video.
Thanks a lot !

[ajje]

Deleted the XBMC Dir and did a fresh build today.
Now i see the video but it is in Greyscale and unzoomed up in the left-top corner:

I see no errors in XBMC.log.
I've tried Fullscreen.
Ati Radeon X300 and restricted drivers, ran envy a couple of days ago...
This is from the Console:

Same config, but used Envy to install ATI drivers, and now the same weird display as mentioned by maudib and ajje

[d4rk]

Can you post the GL related parts of the log

Code:

cat xbmc.log | grep GL

[Jezz_X]

Same config, but used Envy to install ATI drivers, and now the same weird display as mentioned by maudib and ajje

Then I guess its more a ATI problem than a XBMC problem if the ubuntu drivers are fine but the envy drivers suck

[TheWoert]

Can you post the GL related parts of the log

Code:

cat xbmc.log | grep GL

At this moment I can only supply that for my " working" xbmc.log, the one with only the "restricted driver" :

I did a complete new install Ubuntu 7.10, and this time without the "Envy ATI" drivers, just the restricted drivers (from Ubuntu).
XBMC runs smooth (full-color).

Played a little to get 3D-desktop working:
Installed xserver-xgl: 3D-desktop works fine, but XBMC doesn't even startup.
Removed xserver-xgl, and XBMC runs smooth (full-color).
Installed Envy ATI driver: 3D-desktop works fine, XBMC runs, but SLOW. Video playback is like ajje mentioned in post 166141.

Then I guess its more a ATI problem than a XBMC problem if the ubuntu drivers are fine but the envy drivers suck

What can I say, YES, in a way you are correct. XBMC does a fine job in displaying video on my laptop with ATI chip.
And for a HTPC that is all it should do.
I'm new to Linux, started using it 2 weeks ago, as a (future) replacement for my "real" XBOX with XBMC.
I also tried some other video-displaying tools (Freevo, MythTv, VLC) and they work fine even with the 3D-desktop.
So, even if the ATI drivers suck, they seem to work from other software packages.
I'm trying to help getting this solved, not just for me, but there seem so be more ATI users having same problems.

Bottom-line: On my laptop (Compaq nc6000) I can view a 720p video with XBMC now. And That's awesome !!!
