OK, I've got 9.10 install and have told the bootloader to start the 2.6.31-19 kernel through a customized menu.lst as in step 6 of http://wiki.eple.us/appletv_ubuntu_9.10_xbmc.
I want to know what repository for xbmc to use and if I should use a repository install for the video driver or if I should use the envyng- core install of 185? If there are any other pointers thus far I would greatly appreciate it. Also would using component as opposed to the HDMI/optical combiniation make things alot more complicated?
