xmbc is installed with the following flags:

Installed versions:  9.04(02:07:18 06.06.2009)(alsa -debug -joystick -opengl -profile -pulseaudio -vdpau)

I was already going to report this upstream, but their Download page says you absolutely need opengl, so I thought that i'm better here.

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2009-06-07 06:50:46 UTC]

so why did you disable opengl ?

[Comment 7 Christian Weiske 2009-06-07 10:02:41 UTC]

I disable opengl because I got a crash with starting it with opengl - and because it's possible :)

As a corrollary with this bug, it would be handy if the opengl flag was enabled by default in the ebuild, as it currently is not and many xbmc functions (such as all video-displaying functionality) doesn't work without it.

xbmc-9.04* has been punted
