Gentoox Bios video bug
Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2005 9:51 pm
Well recently someone brought their softmodded box to me w/ an eeprom that had been changed by XMPC to use NTSC-J, so I hardmodded it in order to restore it, but I have had absolutely no luck. I'm pretty sure I'm getting a microsoft error and I can't see it.
So anyways, I install GentooX bios on this thing hoping to restore the video and run linux on the box, and when I go to Settings: Video Settings, the video setting says "Unknown" So I see this, try to press X to change the video setting to something known like NTSC-USA, but I get absolutely no response from this menu.
I know this works for switching because I can switch between video settings on my other box, but this box it just stays at Unknown, the bios won't switch it. My thoughts are that Shallax coded it so if its anything but the 3 settings it goes out of the switching while loop (not sure if that's how you did it) and if you get an unknown, it's already out of the while loop.
Is there any way to fix this myself or will I have to wait for Shallax to fix the bug so I can change the video setting from Unknown to NTSC-USA?
-thanks
edit: oh yeah, the xbox is a 1.0 w/ a conexant video chip and an xecuter 2.6 ce chip installed
