Anyone have a complete list of what all the blinking lights represent on each model of gateway?

Here they are for the X-2 (1st gen), I think s the same for newer too pretty much

User Manual' says:

Power
Off: No power
Amber,steady on: Running diagnostics tests.
Amber, slow blink: Problem with the wiring.
Green, slow blink: Trying to make DSL connection.
Green, fast blink: Making DSL connection.
Red, steady on: Gateway failed its diagnostic tests.
Red, slow blink: The gateway or power supply is defective.

Status
Off: No power, or gateway is starting up.
Amber, slow blink: Gateway is attempting to contact the
Telocity network
Amber, steady on: The gateway has contacted the Telocity
network. During installation, the gateway will wait for you to
enter your phone number.
Green, slow blink: Gateway is downloading information.
Green, steady on: Good connection.
Red, steady on: Gateway was unable to reach the Telocity
network.
Red, slow blink: Gateway was unable to get an internet
address.

DSL
Off: No power.
Green, slow blink: Trying to make DSL Connection.
Green, fast blink: Making DSL connection.
Green, steady on: Good DSL connection.

PC
Off: Gateway has not received data from your computer.
On: There is a good connection between your gateway and
computer.

LAN
Off: No Ethernet connection detected.
On: Good Ethernet connection; indicates your Ethernet cable is
good.

The Power, and Status light being on the side of the X2, top
to bottom.
The DSL,PC,LAN lights on the back of the X2, top to bottom.

Hope this helps the guys with the 'Ivory brick' and others
that don't have the manual.

--------------------------------------------------

The X1's are pretty self explanatory as they are all discreet individual on or off indicators instead of multi function/color.

Alarm (RED Flash - problem - time to reboot))
Power (has juice)
LAN (valid connection to NIC/router if using Ethernet)
PC (No one seems has ever quite exactly figured this one out, but basically seeing communication beyond just Ethernet connection, perhaps just getting TCP/IP ACK's)
DSL - Solid green has sync (It will also flashes moderately during data transfer. It will flash rapidly from an off state when trying to sync up)
SYSTEM Means it is seeing DTV's network.
