xyzman	Hi, I have Zotac ZBOX with AMD Zacate CPU and integrated ATI HD 6310 GPU. I’ve tried 2.0 release, however as soon as X server launches, I get the ‘static’ like this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/197/img0691ck.jpg/ Now I’ve tried downloading the latest release as said here: http://www.geexbox.org/forum/topic/geexbox-on-amd/ I get Geexbox to start now, however the picture looks very pixelated: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/840/img0695zr.jpg/ Any idea what causes it?

xyzman	I see the suspicious line here: [475005.956] (II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0 [475005.959] (II) RADEON(0): Setting screen physical size to 507 x 285 Indeed the screen looks like it’s upscaled. Unfortunately, with Ubuntu, Fedora and other Linux distros becoming user-friendly, I already forgot about how to configure X server the way I need So help is appreciated here.

xyzman	I’ve tried changing settings in /etc/X11/X.cfg just for the sake of experiment # cat /etc/X11/X.cfg # Set a custom Xorg resolution XORG_RESX=”1280″ # desired screen width in pixels (ex: 1360) XORG_RESY=”960″ # desired screen height in pixels (ex: 768) XORG_RATE=”60″ # desired screen refresh rate in Hz (ex: 60) However, id doesn’t affect anything. I still get that “Setting screen physical size to 507 x 285″ line in log and monitor resolution (from service menu of monitor itself) is 1920×1280@60

tomlohave	i don’t think the problem is here. A user report that with an ati HD3450, it works Maybe a problem with the radeon driver ? Try to downgrade the resolution in xbmc (system/settings/video) This reply was modified 30 days ago by tomlohave.

xyzman	I get the same result (pixelated output) for all resolutions in XBMC settings. In Ubuntu, latest Radeon drivers work well, and MPlayer uses GPU for H264 rendering.

xyzman	I am sorry for sounding like a noob, but lsmod shows the module there in kernel: # lsmod \| grep fglrx fglrx 2619346 0
