[gentoo-user] gentoo on xbox
Hi, the current livecd-xbox-20050914.iso.bz2 http://ftp.udc.es/gentoo/experimental/x86/xbox/livecd/livecd-xbox-20050914.iso.bz2 is from 01-Oct-2005 05:40. The CD is outdated. This is leading to some problems when installing gentoo on the xbox. I was wandering if anybody knows where to find a documentation how the last livecd for the xbox was build and how the upcoming livecd for x86 will be build. Then it might not be that hard to build a new livecd for the xbox. The problems from the current livecd - as far as I know them - 1. The livecd will not boot when cromwell 2.40 bios is installed. 2. One cannot use a current stage3 tarball. When chrooting this will lead to a FATAL - Kernel to old 3. The 2006.0 tarball one can use to chroot is still using gcc 3.xxx. This is resulting in heavy upgrading work 4. You are running in the small pam shadow problem. Thanks kh -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

The install disk could only work with older XBoxes before M$ changed the BIOS. After the BIOS change you could install but not boot. There was an open source BIOS project called Cromwell but 2 years ago I talked to the developer and he wasn't active at that time. He might be now. I don't know. There are multitudes of hacked BIOS replacements that give XBoxes lots of extra capabilities. They are, however, somewhat shady in terms of the legality. Go there as you see fit. Note that with the early M$ BIOS I had very limited options in terms of file system types that the hard drive could use, at least on the root partition. I don't remember if I could make other partition types after I was in Gentoo. If I was going to try this again I'd first look for a Knoppix type boot CD solution to test that the machine can work. If it could I'd probably stick with that before I went to all the trouble of hacking the hard drive and trying to make the XBox a computer.

Sounds good, but it also sounds like the problem I ran into when I used ext3 for my boot partition and found that BIOS couldn't read it. Remember, BIOS has to have hardware support for whatever partition grub and the kernel reside on. After the kernel is in memory you can do much more but that first step is a requirement. Report back when you get it running. I have a couple of old XBoxes here that would be nice to make some use of. FYI - when I did this project it was to use the XBox as a MythTV frontend.

I think thats because function Texture-from-pixmap. When You resize Your

GS series is integrated card with poor performance, much less than FX/GT
cards. Also some vendors of board which hosts NV GPU to reduce costs
makes it from cheap materials and sometimes much of hardware are miss
(like DVI output or Composite output, some resistors etc.). Also memory
of card is very important - speed and error correction (something like
ECC) if available. I don't know if GT series have pixel shader 2.0. Try
google for more info's, more I can't help You.
No, my card is an PCI-Express one, not integrated. And altougth the GS
is less powerful than the GT, it's only for a little (it's basically a
6800 overclocked to almost the clock speed of the GT). And it has 256
mb of memory.
I don't buy the texture-from-pixmap explanation; I remember that with
Beryl it was *orders* of magnitude more smooth than my i915. The
problem is Compiz Fusion and/or the version of X.org. It *could* be
the Nvidia drivers, but I doubt it.
Thanks for the comment, anyway.

Re: [gentoo-user] ati-drivers slowly working through issues
One possibility is a stray library: root and users by default have different paths and path orders? Have you tried running the apps from a console to see if there are any errors? Try running ldd against one of the smaller applications, and then again against each of the libraries listed. Its tedious, hence the suggestion to use a small test. look for missing libraries (they show as not found) and wrong gcc versions if shown.

Re: [gentoo-user] ati-drivers slowly working through issues
\o/ woot \o/ thy fglrx woes have been fix-ed! for the curious reading now or later, I had to do quite a strange process. Due I think to upgrading kernels, ati-drivers, and all-sorts of things I had to delete some stuff manually: 1. uninstall ati-drivers 2. troll around the filesystem and delete anything with fglrx in the name! There was lots of stuff in /usr/lib, /usr/share, /etc, etc! Also deleted /lib/modules/.../fglrx.ko 3. delete some broken lib links (that were pointing to /someting/ati/something which no longer existed). These included: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/lib/libGL.so 4. ran `sudo eselect opengl set xorg-x11` which now worked (wouldn't before) 5. reconfigure X for the kernel's radeon driver. restart X. DRI wasn't working with the kernel radeon driver, so I had to recompile the kernel, add drm, radeon, install, reboot a couple of times 6. once glxinfo reported direct rendering, I then re-installed ati-drivers 7. reconfigure X with fglrx module instead of radeon 8. run `sudo eselect opengl set ati`, restart X and voila! Who would have thought it was so simple! at last, I get some decent frame rates with the new driver. All my screensavers work (no SHM issues as I was having before) no segfaults. Aaaahhh, sweet.
