Do I need to restore to stock firmware in order to install updated coreboot fireware?

Thanks!

Dongle from Rosewill RRC-126 remote. Google shows some issues. I'll try some of the troubleshooting options, like changing the responsiveness in Harmony software. Hmm.. I need to shove the batteries in the actual Rosewill remote and see if it powers on reliably. If it does, it's a Harmony issue then.

This is the remote: http://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880101002

but it is really lacking in any info and quite discouraging to be honest. I know it will take someone some (presumably) hard work to fix and I'm not trying to rush anyone...it just seems like it would be nice to post an update on possible progress every once in a while. Is the issue linux wide for haswell or chromebox specific? Anyone know?

I have a firetv with xbmc installed and the only resolution it allows me to select is 1080p. I have a 720p samsung plasma in my bedroom with a 1024X768 resolution, if at all possible i would like to run the chromebox at that native res then calibrate with the xbmc display options.

Also, is the chromebox capable of outputting at 24fps/24hz if you select Adjust display refresh rate to match video? this is something the firetv is also incapable of doing.

if you re-run the script and do a standalone setup, everything will work just fine. The only thing you'll be missing is the disc space allocated to ChromeOS, but you can always backup your config (System-->OpenELEC-->General-->Backup), copy the file to another machine, then re-install OpenELEC fresh and restore your data.
