This is not a XBMC bug; XBMC requires full 3D OpenGL 1.4 with GLSL and ARB
support, the open source radeon driver does simply not support that yet.

Read:
http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=XBMC_for_Linux_specific_FAQ#XBMC_for_Linux_minimum_requirements
and:
http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=XBMC_for_Linux_specific_FAQ#Why_is_a_OpenGL_2.0_compatible_graphic-controller_the_recommended_minimum_for_XBMC.3F
as well as:
http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=XBMC_for_Linux_specific_FAQ#Currently_OpenGL_2.0_hardware_is_only_needed_for.../

So until the open source radeon driver supports full 3D OpenGL 1.4 with GLSL
and ARB support, you need to use the latest ATI restricted driver (meaning the
closed source binary driver from ATI). You can follow these instructions for
help on installing the latest restricted drivers:
