I'm going to do something silly and assume this patch works. I've tested it on a Conexant and a Focus Xbox, and found there was one *slight* problem... HDTV was broken. However, this got fixed so now it works perfectly. THERE IS NO HDTV SUPPORT FOR FOCUS XBOXES -- just before anyone emails me telling me "I CNAT SELECT TEH HDTV!!!!!!111", I'm telling you, it WONT WORK.

The reason I'm "assuming" this works, is because I havent tried magic with the packaged fix (I applied it manually). However, its a pretty safe assumption to make.

Gentoox is now 100% free from the xbv executable, though xbvset will remain named as-is to avoid confusion and deprecating documents etc... The only thing that is ever changed is the linuxboot.cfg file. All HOC and VOC settings go in this file!

There is one thing I cant get an answer to, but I'm almost certain it wont work... component cables with Focus probably wont work. SCART should though. But if anyone wants to prove me wrong, try it for me then post on the forums or email me.

These new Focus drivers were not coded by me, they were done by dmp, and the HDTV fix was done by Oliver Schwartz (He's rescued me on more than one time with respect to video drivers! Thanks!)

With that said, since I made some more tweaks to magic, all you'll need to do is run "magic" to get the updated patches you need. Run "magic available" first to see if "kernel" and "displaytools" are highlighted as needing updates, if not, then "magic fix kernel && magic fix displaytools", since you might have been unlucky enough to get a BETA kernel that didnt work if you ran magic at the wrong time!

I'll be running magic on two fresh Gentoox Home 3.0c installations (One Conexant, one Focus) over night and I'll post my results in the morning to let you know if everything is well. So paranoid users might want to hold off until then.

(Oh, and I'm assuming by this post, you understand it should now be safe to run magic again!).

I'll post these again so I get no needless emails/ forum posts:

Known issues:
NTSC does not work on PAL TVs which claim they are compatible with NTSC since really all these TVs are PAL60 which uses NTSC's scan rate, with PAL colours, meaning that all the colours appear messed up.

HOC settings under 13 when using 800x600 on a Focus Xbox will cause overscanned lines to wrap around, for this reason, xbvset does not allow you to enter a value lower than 13 when using a Focus Xbox and 800x600.

HOC and VOC settings resize the screen from the top left, not from the center. This is because auto-recentering has not yet been implemented.
