[ydl-gen] PS3 1080p Framebuffer

[Chris Brown]

It definitely appears to be 1080p.  The console seems to max out at 
about roughly the same physical size as the X framebuffer on the 
physical screen (about 211x144? I don't have it in front of me).

I talked to a friend who works on debian releases and he suggested that 
I needed to recompile the kernel with a larger framebuffer max size.  I 
also wonder if a parameter could be passed to the kernel to adjust the 
FB size.  I'm an FB/YDL newb, and I don't understand the YDL bootloader 
well enough to know how to either pass parms to the kernel or replace 
the kernel.
