After a disasterous attempted soft-mod (note to self, 3AM is not the correct time to be answering questions such as "do you want to format your hard drive?") I got a chip installed, and everything seems to be going ok.
The xebian install disc hung right after boot with a little bit of text and a single green pixel. Being a Gentoo bigot, I tried Gentoox, but compiling stuff on the xbox was just to painful for me to deal with. Anyway, after seeing a tip about using xromwell.xbe to launch the Xebian disc, I managed to get Xebian installed.
I added the sarge/myth stuff to the sources file, and did an apt-get update apt-get install mythtv-frontend.
Everything went well, I had to set the window sizes manually in the mythfrontend (I used something like 590x435 with 25 offsets and 5% overscan) and with a little monkeying I got the remote working too.
Only problem is that I can't view recordings. When I go to the screen with a live preview, it goest to a black screen, then the console, then the grey default X screen, then boots me back to the recordings screen. If I shut off live previews, I can then pick a recording and start it, which results in the same sequence of black screen, console, grey screen, back to previous screen.
The console has a message like "agpgart: Unsupported NVidia chipset (device id: XXXX), you might want to try agp_try_unsupported=1" Google didn't have any advice :/
Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? Or does 1.6b just not work, and I misread some other posters?
For the time being, I'm using the XBMC MythTV scripts to watch stuff, but it's not as nice as using a real full frontend...
Thanks in advance.
