I had the same issue with a chipped box:

Code: Select all

su -
mkdir /mnt/fatx/g
chmod 777 /mnt/fatx/g
echo /dev/hda56\ /mnt/fatx/g\ fatx\ defaults,umask=0000\ 0\ 0 >> /etc/fstab
mount /dev/hda56

I'll take some screenshots/pictures tomorrow so you can see how well this fixed my overscan. The width of the screen is now perfect - and the height is perfect at the top, but only slightly off at the bottom.

HOW TO: Video Setup

I've noticed that the biggest issue that people seem to be having with gentoox is getting the video set up properly. I've spent a lot of time trying to get the perfect settings and struggled through it quite a bit. I dont have a version 1.6 xbox and I was still having trouble getting my settings cor...

There is no problem running gentoox as an "application" from UnleashX.

I currently run GentooX from my XBMC installation. on both my boxes. You can also download a shortcut XBE and copy that to your applications directory.

SSH = Secure Shell

For the novice windows user: it's like the command prompt (think DOS) over a secure network connection.

One of the most commonly used SSH clients for Windows is called Putty - google "download putty" and it should be the top result.

1) Could you explain more on how you hooked the HD cable to a non HDTV? 2) Do you mean that you hooked up the Component Video cables (aka: RGB-RW) (aka: Y-Pb-Pr) to a non HDTV? 3) By non HDTV do you mean an SDTV or EDTV - if so via what connection on the back of the TV: composite / component? 4) SSH...

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the first time I ran the command: vncpasswd I received a message saying that the passwd file would be generated. Does the VNC server that comes enabled by default with GentooX home not use the standard password file? I went as far as checking that file to make sure tha...

I think I must be missing something here. I'm using the default VNC server (daemon?) built that came with GentooX Home, but I'm having trouble changing the VNC password. Here's a cut and paste from the shell. I simply run vncpasswd, enter my password twice, and tell it no I dont want a view only pas...

They DO have overscan problems. They get around it by making the GUI much smaller. The similar solution in linux is to make sure you dont maximise your windows outside of the boundaries of the screen, I'm afraid :( No one is actively working on a fix for this. I don't understand why you can't shrin...

You can do this either remoting in with SSH and running the commands or by opening up a terminal (console/konsole) and running them.

First change to root:
