Hey Russell!

Wow!  X is definetly worth compiling.  Same with the xine although I noticed it
suffers from the same misconception about cflags as some other apps and libs and
I didn't feel like doing anything about it at the moment.  I figure on writing a
perl script in the near future to scan all makefiles for unwanted flags and
replace them is overdue.  However I am still in experimental mode as far as
dependancies are concerned and thus haven't bothered ... yet.  For sure
everything is in sync with the tv card so I am more or less happy with that and
am going to see if I can get fbtv to cooperate with this scheme.  I still prefer
xawtv as far as handling vt switching on a framebuffered console.  fbxine is nice
as well as mplayer with the '-vo mga' switch.  Could be better.  Needs work.

Anyhow good stuff happening.

No gtk either!!!  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
