Can I put shortcuts on desktop to change res

Can I have "batch" style files that could run a simple scrpit to change res between 800x600 & 640x480. I've used XBVset I have my ideal settings but it would be nice if I could change quickly with a click of an icon.

I'm still running KDE at the moment because can't connect my xbox to the internet. (I got to get this sorted) and it's slow as hell.

I'm also experimenting with epsxe which I can't seem to get decent perfomance at fullscreen any tips? Is KDE eating up too much ram slowing epsxe down or does the xbox simpy lack the grunt needed.

I've got a psx pad->usb converter->usb keyboard->xbox gentoox recognises it according to dmesg as instructed here

How can I test it's working (with what comes built in to gentoox 2.1)because I can't get epsxe to recognise it with my pad plugin and I want to know if it's working or not.

I don't know how to log in as superuser through a shell script, but it is probably possible. If so, that's your solution.

don't know if that works on xbox but under x you can press : ctrl alt + or ctrl alt - to change resolution

I'm having trouble getting any psx emulator to read my Cdrom drive. What plugin are you using?

You have to reboot to change resolution, as far as I know the resolution is set in the linuxboot.cfg file on your E drive. All you need do is
Set the first resolution you like and make a copy of the linuxboot.cfg file.
Set the second resolution and make a copy of the linuxboot.cfg file.
Make a simple script that is something like.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
rm -rf /mnt/fatx/e/linuxboot.cfg
cp -v /mnt/fatx/e/1st-linuxboot.cfg /mnt/fatx/e/linuxboot.cfg
echo "Gentoox will reboot in 10 seconds press Ctrl+C to cancel"
sleep 10
reboot

Then you need to make the script executable and put it somewhere in your path, then you can just tap the name of the script and gentoox will reboot into the new res.
