Well, on x86 it was a failure !
So I'm not empressed to try on my Peg.

Well, it's up to you. But it does work. Just read the documentation
and don't forget to revdep-rebuild everything.

On x86 you may have problems with ati's binary drivers with xorg-7.1, but these drivers don't even exist for ppc. And the open source radeon drivers work great. The migration guide covered all the other issues.

OK...
I will try then (but after big holidays ;-) )

Here is the Gentoo Modular X.org Migration Guide.

Do you know if xorg is working with kernel 2.6.15 ?

Hi, Geoffrey!

There shouldn't be a problem with linux-2.6.15...
What exactly is your problem with installation?

Geoffrey: Sure, I run 2.6.15.

Well, there is no problem but I want to keep my current kernel to avoid multiple changes at the same time.

At the begining I was using 2.6.15 because of ivtv driver which is not working very well with 2.6.16.
But now I've changed my PVR 350 for a Pinnacle PCTV so I guess this is not a problem anymore (in fact, the PVR 350 is now used in a PC media center with XP - shame on me :-)).

So I can use again 2.6.16 now...

XP? Really shame on you! :D
Why not jump directly to a 2.6.17.x?
2.6.17.6 work good here - just recognized it's
time again for upgrade ....7 is out :)
cheers

Well, I had an x86 which I was not using much, so I've found a media center software for xp which was working effortless with my remote control... and my x86 gentoo was broken... so...

But doing so on a Pegasos+Linux Gentoo is even funniest ! ;-)

But there's f.e. KnoppMyth for x86 machines.
Absolutely no need for xp-stuff :D

That is true, KnoppMyth looks cool. However, with windoze MCE you get Drivers for EVERYTHING and it works out of the box... even with Knopp Myth if you dont have certain equipment it can be very hacky - check out the forums on the site.

Hi!

I know KnoppMyth can be a lit bit hacky as I tried it
some time ago :).
But mce (which I think I tried, too) only runs on this
unfriendly buggy operation system .... ehhh -
forgot the name...

Frostwork

Well, if you are building some kind of pvr/stb and only need it for that you would be ok with Windoze MCE on it and MOST important it works OOTB. Not everyone has hours, days, and sometimes weeks to fix linux bugginess and google docs for days ;)

Peg makes on ideal box for this but you have several problems:

1. Compiling dependecy problems with MySql and Mythtv

2. Support for IVTV and IR remotes

3. Support for VFD displays

4. Support for vid out on gfx cards.

5. Speed of capture/playback and viewing live tv

6. Programming scheduling software
