Nuvalo (http://www.tehskeen.com/forums/showpost.php?p=35402&postcount=50) posted this for fans of Linux on the Wii, he explains about the video you can see via the comments.


There you can see the boot, xdm, fluxbox, a picture background, some problems with the background refresh, mi little fight with xterm, and a video using mplayer with Xwindows. I´m using an USB mouse and a keyboard,and the xserver is using a xf86 driver modified to have correct colours in wii.

I dont know why appears a green line at the bottom of the xserver, but seems to be a problem with my tv capturer

Jesus, I haven't seen load times like that since I ran 98 on my old PC. But, cool anyways.

Will we be able to play the Linux version of MUGEN on Wii with this?

i agree with vicious1988, boot time is very slow..

but what can we expect?, it's cool that we actually CAN run linux on our wii's:)

without any doubt, there will be updates of Wii Linux to make it even better.
