Would the fbdev driver have to have support for this resolution? In /usr/src/linux/drivers/video/xbox/fbdev.c I see the settings for 480p if I change those resolutions, timings, and margins, then save the file, how to I build it and make it part of my installation? (im pulling my hairs out) [/code]

I am posting my experiments in hopes that others will try these and report their findings.

I am going to try out this configuration this evening:

fbset -g 960 540 960 540 24 -t 26839 96 16 15 2 32 6

XF86Config MODELINE:

37.260 960 976 1008 1104 540 542 548 563 -hsync -vsync

OK, this did not work, but it worked better than any other settings I have tried for 540p. Im starting to think that there is more to the puzzle than just fbset and XF86Config Where are the actual "drivers" configuration. What is actually happening when xbvset is run? In the linuxboot.cfg ...

whoops, I meant:

fbset -g 960 540 960 540 32 -t 29195 24 14 12 3 16 2

I think this line will work for 540p:

fbset -g 960 540 960 540 960 540 32 -t 29195 24 14 12 3 16 2

I havent tried it yet, but I will within the next hour (during my lunch break from work)

You can then run fbset -x to get the modeline for the XF86Config file.

Why do you want to start over? You can get your video back.

Thats a damn fine TV but I dont know what resolutions it supports. It may upscale all signals to 1080i - like some TVs do. Hopefully not. This stuff is all very new to me and I feel like I just got lucky getting mine to display like it does. I found a cool spreadsheet with algorithms that can help d...

It's more "fixed" than having overscan.

No color?!?! Hmm, thats very strange. I dont know what would cause that. What version of XBOX do you have, do you have a focus chip? What TV do you have?

No, I work for a software development company in Arlington.

Here is an image as promised.

And some LCOS displays support 1080p

These are the HDTV resolutions used, depending on the TV/Projector

480p
540p
720p
960i
1080i
1440i


I dont know of any others

Nope, 540p - I dont think my TV supports 720p

Cool let me know if you have any luck. Im gonna try getting 540p to work this evening. Where in Texas are you msnyder?

Is this during the installation? Given your message I'll assume yes.

How are you installing Gentoox? CD, FTP ?

Do you use SCART, VGA, Component, Composite, or S-Video to connect to your TV? PAL or NTSC?

What exact steps did you perform?

Gentoox now displays perfectly on my 52" RCA Widescreen HDTV, thank God. So I figured I would share my experience. I will post pictures to this thread tonight when I get home from work. Thanks to all the forum postings, various web pages, etc, I was able to put the pieces of the puzzle together...
