Ok, there isn't an option anymore for using xine in video, only for dvd so it looks like I have to edit /media/.mythtv/mplayerlaunch. find this section video) sudo /bin/nice -n -20 mplayer -fs -quiet -lircconf /media/.mythtv/lircrc -vo xv "$2" $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 $10 $11 $11 $12 $13 $14 $...

Ok, I keep correcting myself here, the xpad works perfectly in mythdvd to watch a dvd, and rip a dvd I've updated my above post with the config file to map buttons for rip (0) and cancel rip (9). I just figured mythdvd didn't work because mythvideo didn't, I didn't realize that mythdvd was set to us...

It formats the drive but the files are still technically there until they are overwritten on the linux filesystem.

I edited above because I didn't realize it worked in mythbrowser and mythnews and stuff so someone could probably edit the config file for a better button mapping for useful shortcuts in the browser and the other modules that it works in. Also I forgot to mention above about the xpad1 & 2 proble...

In my unsucessful quest to get mythgame to work I have gotten the xpad to work in the mythv menus, doesn't work in mythgame or watching a movie, just the menus and mythweather, mythnews, mythbrowser, I haven't tested it with mythmusic or mythgallery, but better than nothing, and it took me a hell of...

Just to let you know shallax, because of I guess a change in portage tree, your sudo.b0x will no longer work because of the line which now needs to be changed to because there are now two packages named sudo, app-admin/sudo & app-vim/sudo.

It's /dev/hdb, use fdisk /dev/hdb to partition it (type ? and it'll give you a bunch of options) and then use mkreiserfs /dev/hdb1 or mke2fs /dev/hdb1 to format it, I don't recall if you need some sort of switch like -f or something to format it, you'll figure it out. and then you'll need to add a l...

I've been using a mix of xboxes and pc's in my distcc farm forever now, there is no difference than if they were normal x86 computers, the setup is exactly the same, the only thing that would matter is if there was a comp of completely different arcitechture which I recently learned when trying to u...

Go for the X2VGA, you won't regret it, trying to use any computer through rca connection is always a horrible experience.

Well if I'm not missing anything gentoox specific than I think you should just comment out the line in /etc/rc.conf that say displaymanager="gdm" or whatever and make sure the line that says windowmanager= or whatever it says is correct for your wm. At least thats how you would do it in ge...

Well, I'm sure since the code is now all out in the open I'm sure people like ozxodous and others who have legal xbox partitioning/formatting tools will eventually integrate the custom sizing into their software, so it's not always gonna be that if you have your hard disk partitions that are custom ...

Yeah, tried the first and it didn't work right. I'm using the second right now, but I didn't feel like making multiple partitions so I just used the second harddrive for /usr which was over 2GB and solved all my space problems. I could definitely resize rootfs now since it has like 2.6GB free.

Is it ok to move /var /tmp /home and whatever else I decide over to hdb1 and just use a symbolic link to them for example: ln -s /mnt/hdb1/var / or is it necessary to actually make separate partitions for each of them and mount them in fstab like so: /dev/hdb3 /var reiserfs defaults,nosuid,nodev 0 2

I think I gave up for now, I'm not too experienced with linux anyway. I didn't think of it before but couldn't I do the thing like you just said, I don't mind keeping my rootfs, I just don't have enough space in 3GB to keep everything and I have to constantly delete the portage distfiles and emerge ...

Well, that sucks. It's bootable, you mean bootable as in, when you choose to make it bootable when you make the partition in fdisk correct?
