== Prepare installation media ==
* A USB DVD/CD-ROM drive or a USB Flash drive of at least 1GB should be used as installation media.
* fglrx is a proprietary ATI Catalyst video driver that provides XvBA (X-video Bitstream Acceleration) support.
* Install fglrx driver and other required utilities with the command below:
sudo apt-get install fglrx -updates xvba-va-driver vainfo
* Note: system reboot is required after the installation of the fglrx driver.
* XBMC is a well-known free and open source media player and entertainment hub for digital media.
* The XBMC-XvBA repository provides XBMC PVR builds with direct XvBA support.
* The current build requires fglrx driver (version >= 8.911) that is not yet present in Linux Mint 12. The driver needs to be downloaded and installed manually:
sudo wget -P /tmp http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/2:8.911-0ubuntu1/+build/2952743/+files/fglrx_8.911-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/fglrx_8.911-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
* Add the XBMC XvBA repository and install the media player:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba
* Update your system to get the latest packages.
** sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
