Anyone know of a good place to start reading to learn to write drivers? I'd really like to get a driver up for my usb tv cap card through gentoox/mce

I edited the mceinstaller script (v1.1) and changed my starting sector to what used to be the starting sector of my G partition, fired up MCE, ran "Stardust" and let it do its thing. B/C I changed the starting sector I ignored the format warning and let the script run its source. When I go...

Editing the offset will not save your f drive from being formatted (which I just found out).

Strange thing is - my files are still there (I can tell by the free space) but I can't "see" them

Anyone know why?

I haven't had any luck burning to cdr (memorix) so I've been burning them to ritek dvd-r's. I've read that imation cd media works well. I'll check it out next time I'm at best buy.

What kind of cd media have you all had success with

1) What do you use to create the iso's? I opened them up with isobuster and I saw three filesystems in the file.

2) Are the iso's normally bootable? b/c I had to take them apart and reassemble mine as an xiso to boot.

Is there a list of changes anywhere?

I'm sure that it'll work with MCE if you can edit the install script.

Okay. I don't have a native install and was afraid it would flash my bios and screw up my chip - does a native install flash your bios or does it ask you if you would like to flash to cromwell?

So there's no way to perform a native install and load from dashboard?

I unmasked then emerged the latest xbox-sources and noticed this warning (not verbatim) - The FatX driver is currently horribly broken. Writing to a Fatx partition will corrupt it. So I guess the 2.6 kernels are out of the question. However - would magic be compatible with 2.6 kernels (if they worke...

Is it possible to upgrade the linux kernel without breaking gentoox? I'd really like to use nitro's patched sources (plus the latest 2.6+ kernel would better support external tv capture cards)

That's really not that bad

If only I could get working drivers I could test cap something

nobspangle: That's what I thought, but I didn't want to come across as "clever" Romulas: The problem is getting working drivers with the vox. For me to even begin using this thing on a linux box I need to be able to extract the firmware from the windows drivers (which I haven't yet been ab...

I've tried extracting the contents of mce.iso and then copying them over to my e:/ I got this - *Apps/ *backup_linux/ BIOS/ *BiosLD/ BOOT/ *CACHE/ *Dashboard/ *Games/ *TDATA/ *UDATA/ XBE/ *XBMC/ DEFAULT.XBE INITRD.GZ LINUXBOO.CFG MCE.TGZ VMLINUZ ("*" denotes the fact that the directory exi...

I've gotten it to work on an old 1ghz laptop that has either usb1 or 1.1. I wasn't able to get smooth video in though. That may have been due to any number of reasons though
