Any chance you could detail how you got to this point? I am running 2.4
kernel with xorg, and it doesn't appear to want to play nice.
It works fine as long as I run an xterm, running top,
in the background. This isn't a perfect work around,
however, since the xterm is behind the mythfrontend
window it's invisible.
I saw that post originally, and although odd, if it works, that's the
main thing.
Note that my xBox has 128 MB RAM curtesy of
www.xboxrepairguide.com and I also stuck a heatsink on
the nVidia chip. I'm also running diskless except for
a local FatX swap of 256MB. This means that I can
still use the xBox for games by booting to the native
BIOS instead of Cromwell. I have a SmartXX and am
very impressed with their features.
I wouldn't mind a memory upgrade, I'll have to check that out. You
couldn't use the loopback filesystem, or chose not to? I am, and can
still run games without any problem.
My only problem is that the xBox is a little noisy,
simple to fix by replacing the fan, and I'm yet to get
the xBox remote to work. Since I have a RF
keyboard/mouse I'm very happy with the current setup
although my wife would really like the remote to work.
That I would have to fix for it to be a 'seamless upgrade'... :)
