How do I access certain xRegistry settings via webMAN-MOD?

Alright, so what did you mean by that?

To write the setting is a different story, because you also need to calculate the checksum and I don't know how it is calculated.

This kinda confuses me now, because I can't really understand why I need the checksum and where I need it to change xsettings. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding something..

1. You asked for a way to read the display setting: "The first step I wanted to do is being able to read the value of /setting/display/0/type"
2. I provided you a link to the function get_xreg_value that allows you to read the value.
3. I commented that the function only *READ* the value. To *WRITE* the algorithm is similar, but you also need to write a 16bit checksum to write the registry record properly. I also commented that I don't have the algorithm used to calculate the checksum.
4. Finally I said, that the easiest way to modify the value (if I understood correctly, that is what you want to do), is to swap the xregistry.sys as DeViL303 suggested.
