yeah, remember that is after running magic successfully twice no idea why it's not working. All i can give you is information. the clock is set correctly, and i have a 1.6b xbox. Which means i have an xcalibur encoder. This gives me the following configuration options:

PAL
composite > 640x480 > NTSC > I choose NTSC cause that is what my dashboard and eeprom and everything else is set to.

HDTV > I have never chosen HDTV because i don't have one so i don't know the options

ok so yeah.

I get the same issue...

Managed to get it a little closer. Seems when nvxbox driver is created, it's called nvxbox_drv.o and X is looking for nvxbox_drv.so. I made a link from .so to .o and it at least seems to start X. Don't have VNC (see the other errors above...) and it's not hooked up to a TV so I can't tell if it's actually running or not.

Just got a reply from the guy that does xf4vnc. There should be a new release soon to fix the XKbInitialMap stuff caused by the move to xorg-server 1.2 (xorg 7.2).

:? Sorry to be a pain but how did you do that?

I`m tempted to bung resctoox in & try & rename that file.
( if I can find it )

You need the latest version of the X server.

By "latest" do you mean 1.2 or 1.3? I've tried both with no success. I even spoke with the guy who does xf4vnc and he said the CVS sources should work if compiled with 1.3 and again no =/

blighty: do a "locate nvxbox_drv" and it should show you where the video driver is. You'll see it's labelled nvxbox_drv.o. Change to that directory (should be /usr/lib/modules/drivers or /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers or something of the like) and run "ln -s nvxbox_drv.o nvxbox_drv.so" and X should start ok. You still won't have VNC, but it'll stop bailing out with the "no screens found" thing.

Thanks :D just trying it now.

edit.

didn`t work but I bet it`s me that`s doing something wrong

I did

Code: Select all

locate nvxbox_drv
cd /usr/lib/modules/drivers
ln -s nvxbox_drv.o nvxbox_drv.so
halt
Is this right?

edit2

decided i`d better try

Code: Select all

 
cd /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
ln -s nvxbox_drv.o nvxbox_drv.so
reboot
worked like a charm! Thanks again :D
