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.

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:
