I have been looking forward to testing this and comparing it to my recent use of Kaffeine.

Running it on an ubuntu machine with Aeon Nox skin. Its pretty slick.

The one major problem I have and its one I had when I ran xbmc on win7 is that playback is still a bit jittery.
Its as if there's 2 invisible lines the same distance apart from each other and from the screen edges and whenever a camera pans or there's alot of movement the two lines start to shake making viewing kinda crap.

I thought the final release of frodo would sort it but no luck. Ive spend alot of time customizing xbmc, getting all my media folders organised and such and its a shame that for watching stuff vlc still beats xbmc in my eyes

I'm waiting on Openelec 3.0.

Sounds like you've not got the hardware to run XBMC on top of an OS, try XBMCbuntu or Openelec

Did you try adjusting the settings? Such as fullscreen/true fullscreen, sync playback to display, turn video acceleration on/off, etc

This is a useless release. Nothing but problems. Audio dead after wake from sleep, hang on exit, just booted it up now and audio completely dead, hands when I try change audio settings.
