<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Just built a myth frontend on Xbox to go with my lovely backend system. (release 0.3 with xbox-myth 0.14-1), using the uncompressed FS on drive E: on the Xbox.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Can't get Myth loaded yet, but I think I just need to sort out the mysql permissions for that as this is the first time I've tried running a remote frontend.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">BUT, the X display is black & white on my testing TV which is PAL 50Hz. I'm assuming the X configuration in Dennis' mythtv-xbox distribution assumes NTSC / 60Hz video which is the problem ? If so anyone got a quick way of fixing it ? The boot screen (until X starts) is lovely - colour and looks very clear, just when X gets going that I go monochrome.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Also, I probably misunderstood the docs, I changed the password in /etc/shadow as recommended in the xbox-mythtv docs, but it won't accept ssh logins from my PC, doesn't the password stored in here need to be encrypted ???</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I haven't yet got a USB adapter for the Xbox (it's on it's way) so no local keyboard / mouse, but will reinstall with the default password and should be able to get in remotely to change the X config.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This is on a mod chipped (Aladdin+) Xbox v1.1 if that makes any difference. Pretty sure it doesn't use the new Focus video chip.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks to Dennis for a great job on this distribution, would be nice to have a dedicated xbox-mythtv list or forums, but I know the support in here is good too so not overly worried :)</FONT></P>
