Made an account to just say great write up and thanks. I have been testing a similar configuration that includes a mythtv backend for OTA broadcasting and PVR functionality. Was too impatient to for the kodibuntu ISO to be updated from 14.04 and helix. A working emulator setup is the only thing I was missing. Now I have the whole package. I went the route of geckow and used lubuntu instead and just added additional packages (pulseaudio, nvidia drivers, etc.) as needed.

One question. Any way to prevent the monitor from turning off while running emulationstation? Everything works fine but after about 20 minutes or so of game play the monitor seems to go into power save mode and turns off. A tap of the keyboard turns it back on but when this setup gets moved to 10 foot interface thats a no go. Is this more of a setting in retroarch to prevent the monitor from turning off?

Thanks again.
