[LINUX] My Asrock 330 ION Tweaks, Tips, Tricks, and Fixes! - X3lectric - 2009-11-15 22:35
The tips & tricks were removed due to being at sum limbo point and a bit messy, it was a work in progress and at least 20 posts all over were lost. I cant remember the whole lot to rebuild it. It will take time.
So for the ones who found them helpful here they are.
I did some work on it but not gonna count 10k chars and post it here, needs plenty more updating and linking to other posts and possibly recreate posts.
Jusnt grab the bulk of it from http://www.mediafire.com/file/tztukyj5jtd/Tips&tricks.txt
If anyone wants to work on content or wack them on xbmc wiki be my guest, at least it can serve someone as is.
Regards.

thanks very much X3lectric for taking the time to write this nice article; just received my AsRock ION 330 yesterday, have swapped the HDD for a 32Gb SSD, upgraded the memory to 4Gb and flashed the bios to the latest 1.60. Will install minimal Jaunty this evening then follow all your tips & tricks :-)
Cheers

Nice guide.
You forgot a couple of '>> /etc/apt/sources.list' in the alsa 1.0.20 section, though.

The lm_sensors entries are written to a file automatically after running command sensors-detect and pressing ENTER at the end. Also don't confuse lm_sensors with lm-sensors notice the underscore/hyphen the underscored file is the result autoconfig of running sensors-detect, lm-sensors is the program itself.

Yes I corrected that, this morning thx for pointing it out.
[b]For EVERYONE else
This guide is intended for people who have already working installation and want to improve on the end result. Mostly the sensor stuff..[/b] GOOGLE and read forums other topics you will not achieve a full custom install with one single topic though I try to incorporate all the links necessary to install from scratch or using xbmclive install disk.
If your system is already installed properly, you should get no errors following this, but needless to say this is done at anyone's risk, though nothing should break. I may as well say that alpha2 is terribly buggy for me on this system. Resolution resets to low and will not stick on system>resolution settings.
Since I am experimenting with various platforms, ubuntu releases & XBMC releases, installs and scripts, supported or unsupported.
Don't Ask silly obvious offtopic replies, I may just bite your head off.
I urge you guys to read up on any applicable Linux and you will learn just as I did, I haven't pestered ppl with silly Linux things I went Google and as a result I have over 100 helpful bookmarks to refer to, if you don't you aren't going around this the right way.
Hope anyone who follows this gets the same end results.
