i`ve did a did mistake, sorry i`m a noop!
I run xbvset an change the resolution settings from 640x480 to 800x600.
Now, after the screen "Starting Linux" my tv screen is only black!
The LEDs flickering red, green, orange, green. ( I wait 15 mins)
I don`t have access with vnc or webadmin.
Is there a way to change the settings back without reinstall the complete gentoox?
thank you for all help. oxid
big mistake :-(

If you have a native install you could just put the harddrive in your pc and boot up a linux livecd and fix the settings,
although, suppose its possible with the stardust cd too..
You start it up, ssh to it, cancel the install (ctrl+c) and then you make a direcotry (mkdir /mnt/fatx) and mount whatever partition you got the rootfs on into that dir..
now you can make another dir (mkdir /mnt/rootfs) then you type "mount -o loop /mnt/fatx/rootfs /mnt/rootfs"
now you could do "chroot /mnt/rootfs /bin/bash" and then run xbvset, that i suppose would be the easiest way for you , and then edit linuxboot.cfg by hand to change 800x600 to whatever the other one is
Or you could just make xfce start isntead of kde

That is funny, I am running KDE on mine at 800x600, I have the Monster HDTV kit. Works great, took that extra Xbox I own and made it a file server.Angel of Dawn wrote:Seems like KDE doesnt work with 800x600...
800x600 worked fine in XFCE, then i switched to KDE and now it doesnt boot again
Great Linux build so far.
