mythtv-xbox runs the Blackbox (maybe afterstep?) window manager, no
need for KDE.
I'm in the same boat as Jamison: 2 v1.0 xboxes running mythtv-xbox. It
works great, but the new version of MXB doesn't recognize my Kameleon
remote correctly.
Also a side-note. If you have the chance, get a v1.1-1.4 xbox. The
v1.0's have a Thompson DVD drive that is crap. It's terribly picky about
the media you use... I had to use a DVD-R (none of my half-dozen brands
of CD-RWs would read without errors). I understand the newer xboxes
have different drives in them (Philips?) that are much better about media.
