Hey everyone, I'd like to thank anyone for responces in advance, because I'm extremley frustrated at this... I've installed Yellowdog Linux 5.02 on my Ps3 and it's great, in fact I;m posting from it right now, but I have a small problem, I know how the PS3 resolution system works, in YDL it can't simply be changed by editing xorg, you have to enter the special ps3 video mode command folloed by a number. Now I've got my resolution set to 1280x720, (720p) but in order to be full screen, it's stretched, as my HDTV has a 16:10 aspect ratio and not 16:9. It has VGA capabilities for acting as a PC monitor, but I'm wondering if theres anyway to get my TV's optimal resolution of 1360x768? The manual even tells me it's possible with a PC equipped with HDMI.. but it seems to be something involving the Ps3 and it's interaction with Linux alone. Once again, thanks is greatly appriciated, and if you need any more info, just ask.

So editing xorg.conf has no effect whatsoever?

I'm not too sure about Gnome but if you are using KDE, you can change the resolution from within KDE. I'm not using KDE at the moment but I think you can go into the Control Center or maybe it's a link in the KDE Menu for changing the Display properties.

The vga=791 sets your console to a resolution of 1024x768 16 Bit VGA color depth vs resolution chart depth------640x480-----800x600-----1024x768-----1280x1024 256----------769----------771-----------773-------------775 32000-------784----------787-----------790-------------793 65000-------785----------788-----------791-------------794 16.7 Mill.----786----------789-----------792-------------795 __________________ I do not respond to private messages asking for help.
