VGA support !

Post by thebrave »

:idea: I'd want to use my xbox as an low end work station ( c compiler, open office, mp3 player) / high end video game station

So, because working under linux with an old TV can burn your eyes I want to use an VGA monitor.

I've made Pixel8/xbox-linux vga cable (id=2) and flashed using an MS vga enabled bios.

MS Dashboard, all tested games, Evox, emus, Doom X work fine
But linux take over VGA bios and send PAL signals to my CRT.

What would be great (I'm very newbie)

:arrow: Make a patch ( new kernel, configuration files ... I duno where console configuration is ) to make gentoox vga only.

:arrow: New initizialisation whitch detect AV cable ID and load correct configuration files.

Thx a lot :D
