I am attempting to get the PS3 to display full 1920x1080 (1080p) on a monitor. In the PS3 game-os, this resolution works just fine (also works with the cable box).
I have managed to get my PS3 YDL to boot up in 1080p mode as recommended in the HOWTOs (first testing with ps3videomode then modifying kboot.conf), however I run into one of a couple of problems when X starts depending on how xorg.conf is configured. If I supply a Modes line as recommended in the HOWTO (no wrapping): Modes "1920x1200" "1920x1080" "1280x1024" "1280x768" "1280x720" "720x576" "720x480" the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file contains: (II) FBDEV(0): checking modes against framebuffer device... (II) FBDEV(0): mode "1920x1200" test failed (II) FBDEV(0): mode "1920x1080" not found (II) FBDEV(0): mode "1280x1024" ok (II) FBDEV(0): mode "1280x768" test failed (II) FBDEV(0): mode "1280x720" test failed (II) FBDEV(0): mode "720x576" not found (II) FBDEV(0): mode "720x480" not found (II) FBDEV(0): checking modes against monitor... (--) FBDEV(0): Virtual size is 1280x1024 (pitch 1280) which almost files the screen top-to-bottom, but only fills about 2/3 of the width of the screen. If I hand make a Modes line like this: Modes "1920x1080" the Xorg.0.log file contains: II) FBDEV(0): checking modes against framebuffer device... (II) FBDEV(0): mode "1920x1080" not found (II) FBDEV(0): checking modes against monitor... (--) FBDEV(0): Virtual size is 1688x964 (pitch 1688) which implies to me that I'm hitting some sort of upper limit on the size of framebuffer. Because this was all "(**) FBDEV(0): Depth 24, (**) framebuffer bpp 32" I also tried depth 15/fb bpp 15, but it didn't like that very much so I didn't pursue the line of thought about running out of framebuffer memory any further. So, how do I get the framebuffer to go up to 1920x1080 for a full 1080p monitor?
