Hello all, |
31 |
|
32 |
Thanks for all the tips! |
33 |
I got it going with: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=266552 |
34 |
|
35 |
Combination of mingetty with autologin. |
36 |
My ~/.profile script then starts X with |
37 |
.xinitrc containing 'xbmc --standalone' |
38 |
|

Works like a charm, |
