Need to change video resolution but cannot ssh into box

Hi All,

I've installed Home edition 2.0. I use svideo connection on the Xbox normally so I set it up for 800x600 resolution.

I'm on the road now and can only use RF connection to the tv. At the login screen (screen with virtual keyboard) the video is garbled and I am not able to see to log in. I think I need to switch back to 640x480 resolution.

I have a keyboard and mouse hooked up. Can someone tell me the steps to change the resolution without ssh login?

Thanks,
Dave

I'm a newbie but I have an idea:

Wait for KDE to fully load.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace -> you're back in console mode (screen black)
Login, type "root" enter "xbox" enter "xbvset" enter

Now follow the instruction in the tutorial "how to install if you're blind"
