I just installed Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 on my PS3. I am running it in 480i and some of the windows are too large vertically so i am not able to read the entire bottom of them. I am very new to Linux and i have no idea where to even start in order to change my resolution. Help please!

Thanks

I use krandrtray to change the resolution on the fly. It is a kde program, but I have used it in gnome. ( I have both installed ).

Your xorg.conf needs to have a higher resolution in the config. You can also have a virtual screen where your resolution is the same but you can move to an off screen area. See the xorg.conf manpage for details on the syntax.

If you are lucky (have a nice xorg.conf), maybe just doing <Ctrl><Alt>+ or <Ctrl><Alt>- could help. those shortcuts change (cycle) between the resolutions in your Section "Screen" in the xorg.conf.

if not try adding more resolutions to the xorg.conf (is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or something like that) in the Section "Screen", you would like to add some more resolutions (modes), mine looks like this:


Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen1"
Device "device1"
Monitor "monitor1"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "nologo"
Option "DPMS"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "640x480" "480x360" "320x240"
