Xos Skin Displays In Grayscale With Vertical Black Bars...
« on: April 12, 2006, 11:14:00 PM »
All I did tonight before this happened was backed up several games to my HD, enabled widescreen mode in the retail bios, along with 480p, 720p and 1080i and that is it.  Now when I turn on the box the XOS screen is there and everything works fine, it just displays as described above.  Anyone have this problem?

the problem is the 'along with 480p, 720p and 1080i' part. I've read a couple of other posts with guys that have experienced the exact same thing when they enable HDTV. At this stage though I don't now what the fix is. You could try the teamXodus forums, they'll be able to help.

It is not that big a deal to me really, because everything else is fine.  It just doesn't look that great when I show it off and that is the first screen that comes up.  While I have your attention JonBoy, when I choose the XII bios and boot it from XOS, the XBOX splash screen doesn't complete.  It starts, and all the sound is fine, but before it completes it goes black before loading XBMC instead of displaying the entire animation.  Is this a BIOS configuration issue and it is set to "quick animation" or something?  Again, not a big deal, but for presentation purposes I like it to be perfect.

Yeah your flubber animation is a component of your X2 bios. I recently upgraded to the X2 5035 bios. I found that if I tried to use X2OOL to config the bios I ended up with a messed up animation. Try flashing an un-touched copy of the bios (hopefully you wont have any troubles runnign things normally) and see if it works okl then (you shouldn't need to delete  your existing bioses, just try adding another. If there's not enough space left on your chips memory then you'll have to delete your current X2 bios.
