What do you mean linking to the 2.6 kernel? If you aren't using gentoox then you should you the xbox-sources. They are masked but they are in portage.

Of course you do know that the 2.6 kernel doesn't have fatx support (at least not stable fatx support), right?

Magic requires you to conect to the internet; there is no way around that. You could do everything manually, but in order to install anything it would still need to download it from the internet... Once you get it all setuo you could leave it disconnected, however... Linux is and alawys has been dep...

The problem is that the current version of the video driver for the Xbox doesn't support that version of X. To fix this add the following lines to /etc/portage/package.mask, which may not exist. Then re-install X. >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r1 >=x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1 >=x11-drivers/xf86-input-keybo...

I have NEVER had that problem with any distribution on any computer. That probelm relates to you filesystem. It's baskcally saying your filesystem is corrupted.

1. Yes same as Gentoo, but with a some added by ShALLaX 2. Yes 3. Really depends on the version of the Xbox. The older versions work the best and 1.6 has larger issues. 3d excelleration does not work. HDTV takes a little work to configure just right. I never got my optical audio to work correctly (s...

You have give others write access to the drive by editing fstab, chmod won't really help you since it's a fatx filesystem. Adding the option uid=gentoox to the f drive entry and that would give only the user gentoox write permissions (actually gentoox would own it).

I use MythTV, but I haven't really touched freevo. MythtTV works great, the only issue is that it will not work well enough (choppy playback) on a normal GentooX (or any other distrobution) install on a loopback (large file on Xbox drive). You must install GentooX either as a native install (format ...

Ok, I tried and I tried, but I could not compile the CVS version of the driver against the new Xorg. I did manage to build the driver, but it's ended up only being 76K and would not work. Right now I just masked the following packages to keep the old version of Xorg. Hopefully, we can get an updated...

You said you just emerge nfs-utils and then tried to start nfs; is there nfs server support in your kernel?

idmapd did fail to start, but I would need more information before I could diagnose it. Try restarting it and then post the results of the follwing command:

dmesg | tail

This is kind of cool. It may be slow, but using a fatx loop is really slow. I wondoer if using this would be faster. . . At 100Mbits full-duplex this could provide suffecient speed, while keeping the CPU usage low. . .I might have to give it a try.

You need to make sure that the user that you are logging in as with Samba also has write permissions to the drive. The vfat filesystem defaults so that only root can write to it unless you specifically tell it otherwise when you mount it. Try logging in as that user directly in the xbox and see if y...

The same way you install any other program. There are several posts that explain this; the search button is there for a reason.

To find the programs:
emerge --search torrent

To install:
emerge programname

Now stop asking the same damn question that has been answered several times.

You're right. I didn't think about it; to used to an absured amount of memory on my main desktop. Shouldn't the kernel flush the buffer to disk if the buffer becomes to large anyhow?
