1 Hello all,
2
3 Building myself a new media center setup.
4 I used to have an old xbox with xbmc. But the CPU is to slow for hi-def
5 video.
6
7 Now I have a normal PC with keyboard and mouse in its place.
8 Normal Gentoo install.
9
10 How can I get X to start up without login straight into XBMC?
11 Which (xdm,kdm,etc) should I use for this?
12 Or should I just start an xsession with xbmc out of some sort of init
13 script?
14
15 On the XBMC forum I have found this link, and will try to get that going
16 in the meantime.

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