Thanks - that's interesting, where did you find the full list of ps3 video modes (eg #1547, #131) from? The 2009W monitor I'm using can go up to 1680x1050 (WSXGA+?) so there should be some scope to go better than the 1160x644 I have now... > > 2.

Yeah, I'm tempted to try fluxbox or jwm, but it's going to be a lot of work... >Ron Rogers Jr. (CronoCloud) > > >_______________________________________________ >yellowdog-general mailing list >[email protected] >http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general >HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com' _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
