Installing xbmc xvba per the instructions online I found video severely scrumbled , or just snow, if hardware acceleration was enabled. It is a PCIe card in an AMD motherboard connected with HDMI cable to a 55 inch LED TV.

I am using Ubuntu Server 64 installed to a mdadm Raid5 drive.

I met fritsch in IRC and we worked thru the problem but could not fix it.

If the overlay was enable by hitting "i" or "o" the picture was perfect.

I have disabled acceleration and everything is fine with software decoding.

My logs as I presented them to fritsch are the following:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/809021/ (xbmc.log)
http://paste.ubuntu.com/809015/ (lshw.log)
http://paste.ubuntu.com/809017/ (Xorg.0.log)
http://paste.ubuntu.com/808886/ (dmesg)

fritsch was a GREAT help, I appreciate all the time he spent helping me troubleshoot the problem.

Thanks,
