focus is the make of the video encoder chip xbox versions 1.0-1.3 have a connexant chip 1.4-1.5 have a focus chip. You do not have a focus chip this is not your problem. ToeRag is miss informed as far as I know focus chips do work so long as you remove the xbvset line from local.start Your problem ...

sounds like you have a focus chip running 1.4/5 xbox. join the club. this has been reported, and some attempts have been made to try a few things, all of which failed to correct the problem for us focus users. until a focus xbox can be provided for ShALLaX to test on, I'm afraid it's just shooting i...

I dont get that last post, was it an insult, or a joke? I made stardust and magic by hand from scratch. I also made the blink wrapper from scratch using the binary source from xbox-linux which I dont claim to have made. I dont see how I claim to have made this distro myself since I've called it Gen...

after running magic, and getting the update ; it seems to have changed my boot up script - it removed my vnc startup - server commands. I tried vnc'ing in and nothing ... then ssh'd in and ps aux showed the server wasn't running any more. I'll have to brush off my notes and or search for how to kick...

Hmm it definitely should be bypassing it after looking in the source - try looking inside /etc/conf.d/xbvinit ... see if its empty.

will do, when I get home.. looks VERY promising!

great thanks ...

any reason why it loops back to lanuching X after a [crtl-alt-bkspc] ?

Well; I was excited to see a fix/support for the focus chip (1.5 xbox) I was REALLY excited to see my xbox boot passed a scrambled splash screen, to perfectly displayed termial TEXT mode. Then launching X it looked BEAUTIFUL I then get a nice login prompt - only to find that 8-9 secs later the scree...

I confused , in a way ... editing a text file is one thing, but specifically referring to the evox.ini -- why would you want to boot into gentoox to edit that file? I use FlashFXP - which has a unix/dos friendly editor built-in! and when you are finished, it's only a few seconds to reboot and see if...

Hello Gentoox'ers Im just a newbie , the first time i startup gentoox it asks me Pro. localhost login: i cant type something , do i need a USB keyboard ? if i paste root password : but i can't type something in it :( i got this problem with al the xbox linux versions :? Can someone please help me t...

I'm confused... I have been waiting for the fix to the focus chip video issues for >1.3 xboxes. I was happy to see a new kernel released the other day, I did the update, and I saw slight improvement, as the text displayed during booting was now fixed or readable, but once X started the video was the...

i tested this patch with a pal console and it didn't work same effect, loud fan noise , xbox shutdown tested on home 2.1 the loud fan noise you discribe; is the DVD/CDROM drive spinning up to FULL speed. I have also had that happen when trying to boot gentoox from time to time, some times it takes ...

oooh, ok, yeah, thanks, it's 1.5 i presume, bought it on the sunday and ordered the modchip, installed modchip on the tuesday, burnt gentoox on the wednesday. so, what exactly is the video encoder and what has changed? enough that it won't work... I did get it to work using a x2vga adapter - but wo...

I'm just guessing but I think you all must have xbox versions greater than 1.3

no fix yet... I have a 1.1 works perfectly, copied the complete install to my other xbox 1.5 it displays EXACTLY as you discribe.

If you want to use a vga monitor (my case), you have to use xboxfb that is not present in gentoox 2, so I mixed the two kernels. If anyone want, I can upload my vmlinuz (2.4.20 with xboxfb) interesting .. I do want to use a VGA monitor with my XBOX; I have found a few sites that discuss building a ...

The new xboxs have a different video encoder chip, x-box linux should have a driver for it soon, ShAllaX has promised a patch once it comes is this what will hopefully help correct the problem ... ?? "Well folks it's been a long time in the making but we finally cracked it. As most of you know...
