would it be possible to use the xbox's videocard and controller and my pc's ram / processor to play pc games from my pc
(both xbox and pc have linux installed)
and how would I configure this?

thanks in advance

You should probably be able to connect to a remote Xsession from your Xbox - this should do the trick as long as you have it configured correctly.

the problem is... that I don't have a keyboard on my xbox... should I use my pc to connect to my xbox to have my xbox connect to my pc....

You can either make one of your controller ports into a USB port for a keyboard, or you can buy one of the xbox controller -> usb adapters for like $5 USD. That seems like it'd be the easiest.
