[mythtv-users] newbie xbox install problem

I'm definitely in the "me too" camp on that one.. the FS454 is a rather
annoying little bugger -- and without any kind of formal
assembly/hardware training, I can't help out, short of testing.

There was a patch for it to allow 800x600 in vesafb .. I think it was in
cvs for ed's debian on sourceforge (cvs
-d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/xbox-linux). I'm not
sure where that leaves us in terms of rendering everything using xv,
though (is it even supported?).

Cheers..
Aaron
