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. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=41739 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
