In the case of the XBox (Xebian 1.1.4 with Debian updates) I managed to
find a site with a Fedora driver for the xbox and so I copied the driver

If you could post some details around that, I would be forever in your
debt.
OK. My bank account number is... :-)
I downloaded the XFedora-XOrg.tar.bz2 file from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54192&package_id=141823
and unpacked it in a temporary directory. The bzip includes a
replacement X11 server executable, an nvxbox_drv.o module for the
server and a replacement xorg.conf file that loads the module. It also
includes an install.sh file that will install the new files for you,
but since Xebian uses a different directory layout than Fedora the
xorg.conf will not work AS-IS. I copied the font information from the
Xebian xorg.conf into the Fedora xorg.conf and merged the two module
sections so that all of the extensions would be available. Finally I
trimmed the modes since I only use 640x480x24 anyway. (I'd paste the
resulting xorg.conf into this email except I'm at work and my XBox is
shut down so I can't ssh into it. I can post it later if you want.)
If you could, that would be most helpful. I only use that resolution as
well.
When you start the X server the screen will flicker for a *LONG* time
but eventually it comes up OK. The log shows a warning that the V_BIOS
was not found, but that doesn't seem to inhibit normal use.
I think mine did that even with Xfree.
I would *strongly* suggest disabling autologin as well as any login
scripts that automatically launch X while testing the installation so
that if the machine locks up you will be able to reboot to a console or
ssh in to fix it. I configured my XBox so that it does the autologin
in runlevel 5, so for testing it was as easy as changing the inittab so
it boots to runlevel 2.
Yep, mine currently does not autologin, so I'm cool there.
Thanks!
Tom
