First of all I want to start by saying hi. Im am new to Linux and I am hoping this forum can help.
I have tried several diferent distros of linux on my ps3 and so far what i can see i like opensuse the best but i have a problem. I have an older toshiba projection tv and the ps3 is hooked up using component cables my tv is odd though/ it put out standard tv resolution 480 and 1080i not 720. so when linux boots up it looks good but i cant read anything. I read a post about changing resolution and this is where im stuck. because im new to linux im not sure if im understanding. I log into it as root open a terminal and type /etc/kboot.conf
but when i do that it says access is denied. what am i doing wrong. and is it even posible to get it to look right on me tv or am i wasting my time. [/b]

If you are in the GUI (red screen and bombs), you can use the file browser (file manager, konqerer) and navigate to /etc/kboot.conf, right clic on it, and select "open with" kwrite, or other file editor.
The line you want to add to the end of the boot string is:
Code:
video=ps3fb:mode:<your number here>
The number at the end is the important part. The resolution you want is determined by that number.
You can find a good listing at:

You can specify a following special boot parameter on the PS3.
video=ps3fb:mode:<video mode ID>
Drawing resolution can be set explicitly, if needed. If there is no video syntax, auto mode is used.
<video mode ID>
0: auto mode , default value
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
kboot.conf sample is as follows.
default=linux
timeout=10
root="LABEL=/"
linux="/boot/vmlinux-2.6.23 initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.23 video=ps3fb:mode:3"[/b]
