My apologies to all if my how-to isn't 100% for everybody. Last thing I want is to create more headaches for Matt than I already have with my IR receiver issue.
The code worked first time for me without any issues. I was very proud of myself of creating the autostart.sh command because I noticed it wasn't a persistent change and I'm as green as they come with Linux.
Logically, I don't see why this wouldn't work for any of the Celeron Asus Chromebox's, but in case this MIGHT have an effect as to why yours is not working, here is what I did from a brand spanking 100% fresh install of Openelec 4.0.6
Within XBMC:
(1) Settings -> System -> Video Output (Expert Mode) I set the output display to HDMI1 and not the default (auto detect) mode. I also checked to ensure the limited RGB range was not checked off. All other video settings were default, although I did tinker a lot in the audio settings to get full HDMI passthrough.
I only have one cable plugged into my celeron (no keyboard, no mouse, no cat5) just an HDMI cable and of course the power.
I played Sin City and then putty.exe from my computer, root access permission and then the code I posted earlier. The change is immediate and startingly noticeable for anybody with a TV not using a crappy $100 Jensen TN panel display.....
