Ubuntu resolution problems

[Frenchb0ygenius]

i installed ubuntu 7.04 on my ps3 this morning, but the resolution is absolutely dreadful. The windows are all squished together, and on most applications i cant see the bottom of it. I went to system > preferences > screen resolution, but the only resolution available is very small. same with the refresh rate. help?

at the terminal, type in ps3videomode to display your current settings, or -h to display below

localhost ~ # ps3videomode -h
Usage:
ps3videomode [options]

Options:
--help, -h print this message
--video, -v <ID> set video mode ID
--full, -f use full screen mode
--dither,-d use dither ON mode

Video mode ID:
0:auto mode
YUV 60Hz 1:480i 2:480p 3:720p 4:1080i 5:1080p
YUV 50Hz 6:576i 7:576p 8:720p 9:1080i 10:1080p
RGB 60Hz 33:480i 34:480p 35:720p 36:1080i 37:1080p
RGB 50Hz 38:576i 39:576p 40:720p 41:1080i 42:1080p
VESA 11:WXGA 12:SXGA 13:WUXGA

full screen mode: <video mode ID> + 128
dither ON mode : <video mode ID> + 2048


Example:

ps3videomode -v 3 -f 720p 60Hz with full screen mode.
ps3videomode -v 131 Same as above.

If no arguments are given, ps3videomode displays the current video mode.

Don't use a different Hz setting than your own, as the colors may not be displayed correctly. Also, if using -f or +128 the screen may get "divided" into halves, so you need to go back to your default and instead, try editing the kboot.conf
