Ok, I used to have Gentoox, and I loved it, except for the screen resolution on my TV, but then I saw that HDTV support was included now, so I installed it, and ran magic, got it all updated, and set the video mode to 480p and everything, but the problem is that the TV does not display ALL of the workspace. It hangs over the left and right and top and bottom of the screen. I've tried changing the modeline in XF86Config, and was slightly successfull one time, but the total size of the workspace was majorly reduced. I've read all the topics and searched on Google for all the help I could find, but I can not have the output squashed down to fit onto the screen of my TV. I want to maintain the high 480p resolution, but I want it to actually fit within the boundaries of the TV screen. I am pulling my hair out, and decided I better ask here, as this is my last resort to keeping Gentoox installed. I removed it last time, because I couldn't read anything, and now I am about to remove it again, because I can not get the video to display within the TV screen. I really, really want to use Linux on my Xbox and Gentoox has seemed to improve greatly since the last time I used it, but if I can not take advantage of having a HDTV, and having the windows a normal size, it's not worth it at all. If anybody knows how to fix this, or if it is somehow possible to get 1080i with Gentoox, I would love to hear from you. At least with 1080i, I could live with losing some real estate on the borders of the TV.
My other problem I am having deals with the Xbox remote. Whenever it is plugged in, I can't boot to Linux. I've read that some people have compiled a new kernel that includes the Xbox remote support, but I was hoping somebody could outline the steps to do that, so I don't pull my hair out anymore than I already have.
Thank you to anybody that can help me!!!
P.S. It makes me feel stupid to be posting in the noob section, because I am very computer literate, but I figured it was the best place to ask without getting a load of flames.
