Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm not sure how many people still belogn to this list or if anyone can help |
| 4 |
me, but I'm gonna try anyway. I've recently installed Gentoo on to my xbox |
| 5 |
(a very frustrating process, but I've gotten mostly there).There is one last |
| 6 |
obstacle standing in my way: X is not working properly. Instead of going |
| 7 |
into the 640x480 resolution that I desire for my tv, it will only give me |
| 8 |
1152x768, which obviously is unusable on my tv. |

This is the same problem encountered here: http://legacy.not404.com/node/41 |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
In order to get the x to even work, I had to use the patch on the bottom fo |
| 13 |
that page. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I fixed this once, for one night by following the Gentoox installer script |
| 16 |
(not verbatim, but the concepts) for xorg. (I'd link it but Im at work and |
| 17 |
they blocked that site, but can be found by going to |
| 18 |
http://shallax.com:2000/b0x I believe). |

|
| 20 |
To preface a few things: I want to use gentoo. I don't want to use gentoox |
| 21 |
or xfedora or xebian. This is a hobby of mine and would like to see it to |
| 22 |
the end. I know it can work, and I intend to get it there. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
After I got it working the first time, I installed some unrelated thigns |
| 25 |
(off the top of my head): bazaar, linux-headers, alsa, lirc, mednafen, maybe |
| 26 |
one or two more but all unrelated I believe. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and if you need more info just ask |
| 29 |
and I'll provide it. |
