Hello all,
Building myself a new media center setup.
I used to have an old xbox with xbmc. But the CPU is to slow for hi-def
video.
Now I have a normal PC with keyboard and mouse in its place.
Normal Gentoo install.
How can I get X to start up without login straight into XBMC?
Which (xdm,kdm,etc) should I use for this?
Or should I just start an xsession with xbmc out of some sort of init
script?
On the XBMC forum I have found this link, and will try to get that going
in the meantime.

Any other media center tips would be appreciated!
Also going to try and put a normal USB plug on one of the old xbox
controllers.
Regards,
Coert
