I am getting the htpc running Linux and Xbmc for the first time now.
One idea I had was to use Xbox 360 wireless controller to navigate and play music, kind of like you do when Xbox 360 is connected to a windows media center pc.
I've seen that latest ubuntu makes it possible even for me to get the wireless controller working, and there are even great threads here on the forum how to make it all work. Step by step guide from this forum
My question is how well does Xbmc play along with the wireless controller:
1:Is it easy to use the xbox controller for everyday use?
2:We know our wireless controller have a tight battery-life control scheme, and the controller will doze of pretty quick when not in-use. Have anyone had any problems re-connecting controller after wake-up?
3: What if pc hibernate, will activating wireless controller wake up pc?
Thx
