This link says can not be found. Also, how do you check your kernals? you said if you were connected to live your kernals would have been updated so I would have to get a new console never connected to live? Do I have to be connected to the internet for this to work? And can I plug my 360 into a LCD HDTV with a VGA port on it through VGA instead of a monitor?

To check which kernel version you have, go to System Blade > Console Settings > System Info. Hope that helps. BTW: I'll fix that link ASAP.

My i ask why it wont work?

[troy2000]

You may, but please don't. Another question for my FAQ.

Xbox 360 Linux is capable of running emulators, though NOT 3D emulators. 2D emulation is not a problem. NES, SNES, etc... That is the absolute limit.

One final question. If you install the proper 3d graphic driver (for xbox 360 graphic card which is based on ATI R600 grahpic card) will the xbox be able to run 3d graphics. I read that there is a linux driver for the R600 graphic card but its not optimised for use in the xbox 360. If someone programs a driver will it work? Will the xbox be able to run 3d graphics
