Nuvalo 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.
