I really thought it might work, but it didn't. I can't say with 100% certainty that I caused this with the MCE install, but I can't seem to add anything else to the partition when all but 79.35 GB have been used. The partition was about that full when I tried to install MCE, so I can only be mostly ...

I hooked it up, and it passed a full diagnostic using UBCD with flying colors. Currently doing a full format (as in not "quick"), and I'll report back.

If I hook the drive up to my pooter and do a full format, would that fix it?

MCE install started, interrupted, F + G partition corrupt.

I started to install MCE 1.3 thinking it would be the same as Home. All of the sudden I notice that it's formatting my drive. It would have been nice if there was some sort of prompt before it started formatting, like "Drive will be formatted. Are you sure you want to continue?" Anyhow, I ...

Yeah, I've been working on that.

I've been following this thread, but I don't have an XF86Config-4 file in the /etc/X11/ directory. There's only an XF86Config.example file.

I've tried running XF86Config, XF86cfg, XFree86, etc. to generate one, but they don't work.

I am also looking for that file.

Does anyone know the exact command syntax?

Well, I've tried the default values (hoc=X,voc=Y), and 25 x 25, among others. None of them do anything.

Is it because I'm in 720p?

I'll be searching in the meantime.

Disabling Virtual Keyboard On Startup

How can I disable the virtual keyboard (xbvkb?) that appears at the login screen and after logging in?

I have a keyboard connected at all times which negates the need for the virtual keyboard.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.

It's still compiling (four hours now). Is it safe to stop it, unmerge Firefox and emerge mozilla-firefox-bin?

Overscan won't go away.

Specs:

Xbox (not 1.6)
HDTV - 720p

I changed the HOC and VOC in linuxboot.cfg to 75 each. If the values are percentages, I would think that 75% is enough to correct the overscan.

Do I need to decrease it more?

TIA.

I used emerge to update Firefox and it's taking forever. It's been installing for over two hours now.

I read something about Gentoox having to compile everything, but this is ridiculous. Does it normally take this long?

Thanks.
