Joggler with Ubuntu

Used StephenFord.org's Ubuntu Netbook Remix for the Joggler.

Then used Ubuntu Software Centre in the System panel to install:

EasyStroke
set up C to be F11 for Google Chrome
reverse L for Esc
set up 'aggressive' Timeout
set up "Gesture Button" = Button 1 (main mouse button)
set up Autostart easystroke, show last gesture in tray 

Reorganised Favourites panel a bit.

System -> Software Sources
Added following to Other Software panel:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu karmic main


Then allow to reload sources. [actually remove -svn in above]

In terminal
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 64234534
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc


But it failed, so removed -svn, also Ubuntu software centre wanted to do some security updates, so I let it.

Tried last line again, seems to work.

Run it, set Settings -> System -> Video Output ->Windowed mode

The Madeo page says to install OpenBox to get it fully full screen, but I like it just the way it is as the touch screen works fine and you can access the task bar at the top.
