Default Re: About the poll on the front page

There actually *is* a project to make a Linux XBox, and it looks pretty successful. They've dumped the BIOS and stuff and have even run WinE in Linux, and run a windows game in it, with decent results I think. They've had to solder parts onto the Xbox mobos, but it sounds pretty cool.
Edit: they do have USB connectors for the Xbox too, you can hook up a keyboard and mouse, and there are even parts to hook the av port up to a VGA monitor.

I'm now running my XBox on my video projector which supports HDTV resolution up to 1080i. With the Component video kit on the XBox, it really looks sweet. However, so far no games support resolutions higher than NTSC. I read that Dragon's Lair 3D will support 1080i...I can't wait to see that on my 10 foot video wall!
