YDL Linux Problem

[Lord Darkblade]

I installed YDL on my UK PS3, the install seemed to go ok however over the HDMI cable (no composite to test) the projector only displays a window of ~640x480 however the desktop is correctly sized at 1280x720. The initial setup stuff runs at full size however when I hit the boot loader (ydl [enter]) it shifts to the middle of the screen and reduces the res.

I altered the /etc/kboot.conf and /etc/x11/xorg.conf files to show the correct res and tried mode = 3, 8 and 131 (3 + 128) however it had no effect.

PS3 mode itself (boot-game-os [enter]) correctly displays at 1280x720 when running the xmb or games.

Linux appears to operate correctly other than this, do I have a problem with HDMI drivers or something?

Copy and paste your /etc/kboot.conf in here

I'm guessing you just made a simple mistake.

I only had to put the correct mode in the kboot-config; I didn't mess around with the Xorg.conf. Which makes me believe that your Xorg.conf entry is correct (but unnecessary) and you kboot one probably incorrect.

Ok, I managed to get a composite cable and it runs mostly ok, if I enable overscanning (+128) it runs fine, but overscans. Disabling the overscan (mode 3) it displays the far right hand 5% of the screen or so on the far left hand side of the display as though the screen wraps around. Any thoughts?
