2004-03-21: version 0.91 "Lemmiwinks Edition"
---------------------------------------------

- You asked for it: USB keyboard/mouse support (see notes below)
  Done without the hardware smile.gif
  Thanks to sebel19 from the gueux forums for testing this out.
- Downloads to disk are now working!
  The default download directory is X:\, it can be changed, check the
  Options manager. D: is mapped to the LinksBoks directory, not the DVD.
- HDTV should work now (still untested though)
- Added some options to the Options manager: look in "User interface"
- Video calibration screen (Options>Video calibration) to adjust your margins
  easily. Don't forget to save your options afterwards!
- Options can now be saved smile.gif. Delete your existing links.cfg & options files.
- Fixed the scrolling glitch in the tree-based dialogs.
- Changed some mappings in Navigation Mode
  (B=ESC on keyboard, Y=close current tab/cancel dialog/exit)
- Clicking left thumbstick changes input mode as well as BACK
- D-pad has a (configurable) repeat rate now.


KNOWN BUGS/RELEASE NOTES for this version:
- ftp:, file: protocols are still broken. Expect the 'LINKSBOKS CRASHED!'
  screens you've seen before.
- About the keyboard: only the US layout is supported. Supporting other
  layouts implies doing the key <-> ascii code mappings by hand, and I'll
  _never_ do this myself, sorry.
- Extra buttons on Intellimouses should normally do back/forward.
- It seems the Javascript engine would be a pain in the ass to reenable, so it
  might stay off :/. It's rather weak anyway, you would be disappointed.
- Flash/Java support is basically not possible, so stop asking please smile.gif.


There are still many things missing, so this release shouldn't be the last wink.gif

Any feedback is still welcome smile.gif

I would just like to say that  I have been trying to install Xebian for I don't know how long, and have not been successful, it keeps saying Kernel panic, failed to init..or something like that so, I was frustrated, and one day I am cruising around #xbins and come across a web browser application called linksboks...I was about to bust a nut(needless to say i was really happy)

This is probably one of the best thngs to come to xbox... it makes life a whole lot better man!

Thanks a bunch!

Woot Woot! Great work! Have not tried it yet, but hopefully I will get my hands on the binary soon and I can give it a spin!

Thanks for all the hard work!

HDTV works! I'm using 720p. 1080i is too small on my 57" Toshiba.

ah, that's cool

Can you change between 720p and 1080i in Linksboks or do you have to set this in the MS Dash?

I see no video mode selections. I had to use the MS Dash to disable the 1080i option. It would be nice to be able choose the video modes like in XBMC.

huh.gif so I switched to avalaunch and downloaded the new version and it works pretty good but whenever I go to xbox-scene.com it locks up and I have to reset the xbox back to the dashboard mad.gif . Anyone else have this problem? Also I am using a wireless linksys router but my connection is still faster than most peoples. biggrin.gif

Don't touch the controller until it's done loading.  This can cause Linkboks to lock up.

I tried to enter a URL - no go, the keyboard just does not work for me. The mouse moves and sometime it works ( left click ).

How's the keyboard/mouse support working for you guys out there?
