Does it actually boot into 1080p mode though?  Does a text console
display at 1080p?  Does a text console use all of the screen?

Might just be some strange limitation of X or the framebuffer.

Looks like you are actually getting 1080p, but X is having difficulty
with that.  I don't have a suitable monitor for testing that out with.

Has anybody else managed 1080p in X an a PS3?
