Works great, until I reboot... then everything stops functioning.

if I reconfigure it with

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc

it will work again. Until I reboot anyway. Driving me batty.

edit: that being said, its more responsive and works better than it ever has before.

What is the best SVN to run !? if you are using ubuntu 9.10 ?


Edit: I dont have any problem with vdpau...i have played a 1080p movie for 30minutes now.. a only 1 drop.

in XBMC it makes ubuntu 9.10 crash and brings me to the login screen.

Section "Extensions"

EndSection

Thank you so much, this fixed my tearing right away. I'm going to try later to see if any of the other visual problems I have are helped by this, but I thought the tearing was going to drive me crazy.
