The computer friendly VESA modes are not available from the GameOS, so there is no excuse for not making them available over plain old DVI with no HDCP. Also, since ssh+X11 works fine for getting a Linux display through to a DVI monitor, saying its for anti piracy reasons is just blowing smoke. The thing about all this DRM and anti piracy shit is that it never stops the actual pirates, and hardly even slows them down. All it ever does is get in the way of legitimate users. Like stopping me from using a PS3 as an ordinary computer on ordinary computer displays. <end rant> It's been a frustrating day trying to automate ssh+x11 so that all I need to do is type my password. I had to rant somewhere, this seemed like a good place. B-) If Sony had not inflicted this HDCP crap on us in the first place, I would not be struggling all day with a three line script.
