Hi! First of all, sorry about my english
I'm stuck for days (5) trying to build a htpc with an old hardware. To resume the story, the machine runs very well using OpenELEC 5.0.8 32 bits. I'm watching Youtube videos and movies in 1080 without any problem.
The problem when installing Ubuntu/Linux (my option to have something more)? The video card: XFX Radeon HD 4650 1GB AGP. Btw, to buy a new hardware it's not an option right now =/
So, I tried everything (I think). I tried to use many Ubuntu versions (12.04 to 16.04; Ubuntu, Lubuntu and Ubuntu Gnome) and other Linux distros (Debian, Mint,...). I also know that is a question of Kernel and the lack of support of the proprietary drivers.
About the drivers? Ubuntu/Open Source, proprietary (from 12.4 to 13.1-legacy) and, of course, Oibaf's drivers.
OpenELEC 5.0.8 32 bits have this xorg.conf is attached):
Thanks in advance!!! Cheers from Brazil =)
