 Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2005 9:45 pm Post subject: xbox - configuring X |
 |
|
I'm installing on an xbox and having great problems getting X up and running.
The howto says there is an example X config for the xbox but I can't find it anywhere.
Does anyone know where it is? Or have a working X config for the xbox they can share?
Thanks
Jon |

I had the same problem this morning. After searching for AGES I finally downloaded the one from xbox-linux CVS:

Note that I have been messing with the mouse settings, I have a Versapoint RF usb keyboard mouse combo and the mouse refuses to work on the xbox. The keyboard works fine on my 2.6 kernel PC but not on the 2.4 kernel xbox.
Good luck with your project,
Ben
PS: Since you're from the UK you probably need to change the resolution to 640x576 for your TV. I assume that you're building a mythTV frontend with your xBox, as everyone else is myself included. So out of curiosity, is there a mythbackend tuner which is digibox compatible?

I sure hate to play the noob here, but what's the point of putting mythtv on a 733mhz celeron/64mb ram xbox. Maybe I just don't understand mythtv...

From everything I've heard, it's really only useful as a remote frontend. Xboxes don't have enough USB throughput for video capture (or so I've heard a few times on the myth lists), but they can handle playback. |

Hi Naru,
I ran across this post when searching around:

Which version of Xorg are you running? Looks like you might need 6.8.0-r2 or later. I'm assuming that you're looking for an Xbox tuned nVidia driver for X? I'm not familiar with nvxbox, and even Google seems short on information for it...
I also saw a post or two suggesting that you can use the standard nVidia driver for X as well, might be worth a try? |

I'll give these a try, but frankly I'm only installing X to get a server running. I won't actually be running X on the Xbox. but using X from my Win32/Gentoo64 install to connect to it. i.e. like a terminal server (kinda)

In that case, I'm not sure that an accelerated driver does anything for you anyways- maybe not worth the compile time to switch since you'll be waiting for everything to come over the network anyways. Unless the load of rendering is enough that it will effect whatever the box will be doing?
I'd just try switching to the svga driver instead to see how it works out, you can always update Xorg later if it doesn't go well. |
