My bank account number is... :-) I downloaded the XFedora-XOrg.tar.bz2 file from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54192&package_id=141823 and unpacked it in a temporary directory. The bzip includes a replacement X11 server executable, an nvxbox_drv.o module for the server and a replacement xorg.conf file that loads the module. It also includes an install.sh file that will install the new files for you, but since Xebian uses a different directory layout than Fedora the xorg.conf will not work AS-IS. I copied the font information from the Xebian xorg.conf into the Fedora xorg.conf and merged the two module sections so that all of the extensions would be available. Finally I trimmed the modes since I only use 640x480x24 anyway. (I'd paste the resulting xorg.conf into this email except I'm at work and my XBox is shut down so I can't ssh into it. I can post it later if you want.) When you start the X server the screen will flicker for a *LONG* time but eventually it comes up OK. The log shows a warning that the V_BIOS was not found, but that doesn't seem to inhibit normal use. I would *strongly* suggest disabling autologin as well as any login scripts that automatically launch X while testing the installation so that if the machine locks up you will be able to reboot to a console or ssh in to fix it. I configured my XBox so that it does the autologin in runlevel 5, so for testing it was as easy as changing the inittab so it boots to runlevel 2.
