Just a little note for anyone installing ambx on Dharma live. The very first step you have to do is perform an update
sudo apt-get update
otherwise you wont be able install subversion

I am very interested in this set up and thanks for all the hard work you guys have done....
How ever I am having a problem getting mine to work. I follow all the steps on Kodes web page exactly and I test the lights and they work, i then start boblightd and he starts up but when i try to start boblight-X11 it says it does not exist. I tried to redo all the steps and notice that boblight-x11 does noy get built but dont know why
Any help will be appriciated
By the way I am trying to get this to work with XBMC Live (not Dhama) & my Linux knowledge is minimal

Turn off flipping for opengl in nvidia-settings or pass the -x flag so it doesn't use xrender.
There's a bug in the nvidia driver when you're using xrender to scale down the the desktop to a pixmap when you have a fullscreen opengl window and flipping on, often you get the backbuffer instead of the frontbuffer.
That causes flickering.

works a treat - does anyone fancy updating the first post so new users can get it right first time? (or a wiki article - happy to help on that)
