[SOLVED] XBMC on AMD Athalon APU

enine · 08-27-2014, 07:48 PM

Hello all. Building a small inexpensive box for the living room. I picked up an ASUS AM1I-A system board, an AMD Athlon 5350, 4G of RAM and a 128G SSD. I know its not a powerful system but we don't need a lot. I installed Slackware 14.1 and Alien BOB's packages for Pipelight and can stream Netflix fullscreen just fine. I wanted to put a simple menu for the wife and kids to use so I downloaded all the Slackbuilds for XBMC and installed it.
When I try to run XBMC its so slow its unuseable. The mouse pointer will update maybe twice a second and the rss feed at the bottom jerks as it attempts to scroll by.
I installed all the same XBMC packages on my laptop and the menu works fine.
Trying to figure out where the issue could be on this new build. Everything else works fine and is plenty responsive.

I'm running xbmc on an old Intel Atom 1.8GHz dual core processor with only the occasional stutter in xbmc, so your quad-core 2.05GHz should run circles around mine. Have you checked the xbmc log under ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log to see if it's throwing any errors? Do you have AMD's proprietary drivers installed?

xbmc also runs on raspberry pi with one single 700 MHz processor, 512 MB RAM, 4GB SD card (containing the OS). So I would rather say you missed something during install, probably the display driver is not ok.

I'm not seeing any. http://support.amd.com/en-us/download lists the 200, 7000, 6000 and 5000 series. Mine looks like an 8200.

I've downloaded it and am extracting it to see.

That was it, XBMC works normal now, except it seems to up the display res causing my tv to complain about being an unsupported resolution. I need to see how to make it stay at a lower res.

schneidz · 08-28-2014, 12:47 PM

weird, it doesnt say what driver your radeon card is using ?

He since updated saying he wasn't using the proprietary driver. The system could've been running on vesa.

What's the actual error? If it's sending the wrong resolution to the tv, it shouldn't display a picture at all (well, I guess it still probably would show picture if you sent a lower resolution, but they don't typically complain about that). What is the resolution of your tv and what resolution is the card putting out? How do you have the tv hooked up to the computer? HDMI? VGA? DVI?

enine · 08-28-2014, 02:42 PM

Not sure what it was using before, the current versions of X will autodetect everything.

I'm going to have to look up the tv res, when it booted up with the new drivers the tv said unsupported resolution. So I plugged into a monitor and it was at 1024x768. Plugged back into the tv and it was displaying then. Started XBMC and the tv went to unsupported res, back to the monitor its fine, move back to the tv again and its fine.

Using a VGA cable for now.

TobiSGD · 08-28-2014, 05:37 PM

The kernel on standard Slackware 14.1 is too old for the Kabini GPU if you use the free driver, you either have to upgrade the kernel (and when you are at it already also llvm, libdrm, Mesa and xorg-video-ati) or use the proprietary driver. The Athlon 5350 features the R3 graphics core, drivers are the standard AMD proprietary drivers, they work for any HD5000 series and newer card.

enine · 08-28-2014, 07:12 PM

Ahh, so a newer Kernel I won't need the propritary drivers. I guess that will be something to look forward to in Slackware 15.
I downloaded and installed what AMD had figuring maybe they supported more models without listing them and it appears so.

bassmadrigal · 08-31-2014, 11:13 PM

Did you ever figure out the resolution issue?

enine · 09-01-2014, 10:44 AM

not yet. As soon as X starts it throws the tv into an "unsupported resolution" so I have to move the cable to a monitor and then ctrl alt backspace. Then as soon as I start xbmc I have to do it again.

I'm thinking once I move to HDMI it will be ok, I just don't have enough inputs on the TV to do so yet. Once I get a Bluray drive and remote for this box and get everything setup then I can unplug the bluray player and use its hdmi port.

bassmadrigal · 09-02-2014, 02:33 PM

Do you have a monitor capable of 1920x1080 as that is likely the resolution of your tv? That way, you can set it and check. Or have you tried just temporarily using HDMI (by unplugging your bluray)? Unless something is screwy with the tv, you'd likely see the same problems with HDMI that you're seeing with the monitor cable. Also make sure you disable any overscan options that might be present in AMD's control center (or whatever it's called). It might try and stretch the picture too far beyond your monitor's capabilities.

enine · 09-02-2014, 04:57 PM

Yea, it works fine with the hdmi cable. I suppose I need to get a bluray drive for the computer quick so I can get rid of the samsung.
