(startx) woo, now.. how do i use it so it doesnt hurt? Hurt? Here's a few guesses...: To start it so it runs on the TV: startx -- -screen 0 pal There's a way of setting it so you don't have to type that everytime. Apparently you need to edit /etc/X11/XGSConfig at about line 122 - comment the VESA line and uncomment the PAL line. If you want a different GUI, type sdr at the command, tab accross to the third column and then up and down to select. Then hit q to quite and y to agree to saving (see prompt at bottom of screen). If you haven't done so already, surf over to http://www.playstation2-linux.com and check out the forums, as virtually anything you'll want has been asked already (though it's not *very* easy to search for what you want, you should do, as they get pretty bitchy at people asking an old question), and if it hasn't you can ask yourself.
