Re: [mythtv-users] XBox frontend video doesn't fill screen

2004-12-02 Thread Jonathan Oexner
I have a 1.4 (I think) XBox, with a Focus video encoder chip.

Here's my linuxboot.cfg:

kernel vmlinuz
initrd initrd
append init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0 kbd-reset xbox=fatx_e:/debian
ramdisk_blocksize=4096 video=xbox:hoc=-7,voc=0
xboxfb y

...and here's my focus.c :

#include fcntl.h
#include linux/i2c.h
#include linux/i2c-dev.h
#include stdio.h

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
 int xo=0;
 int yo=14;
 int fd = open(/dev/i2c/0, O_RDWR);
 ioctl(fd, I2C_SLAVE_FORCE, 0x6a);
 i2c_smbus_write_word_data(fd, 0x00, xo);
 i2c_smbus_write_word_data(fd, 0x02, yo);
 close(fd);
}

I compiled the focus.c program on my main box, FTP'd it to the XBox
and set it to run on X startup in .xinitrc .  The tough part was
figuring out which linuxboot.cfg the system was using.  Mine was in
the game save partition, a.k.a the E: drive, under the debian
directory.

Best of luck,
-Jon

 I have the same problem with one of my xboxes and have been trying to
 get the image to fill the screen and was wondering if you would mind
 posting the kernel args etc?
 thanks

  Thanks again for the lead.  The people on Xbox-Linux aren't too

Thanks, good suggestion.  It moved the UI around on the screen, but
when I move it up into the blank area, the top of the UI gets chopped
off instead of filling the blank part.  I think it was a known issue
with the Focus-chip-based XBoxes (1.4/1.5), but I there was some work
going on with it, and I was wondering if anyone had heard anything on
it.

  Hi,
  I'm using MythTV-XBox 0.4.4 (based on Xebian 1.0.3, I think) for a
  frontend, and it all works fine and dandy except that the video 
  output
  leaves a thin black bar at the top of the screen.  Has anyone run

  this problem, or know if a solution exists?
  Thanks,

 In the MythTV setup/config screens, there are options to set the x/y
 position and the width/height of the GUI.  Try playing around with
 that, it worked for me.  Sorry, I can't remember exactly which setup
 screen it is under, but it should be easy to find.

   There's a line in root's .xinitrc file that says something about
   focus.  If you uncomment that line it should fix  your problem.
