[ydl-gen] 720p: ps3videomode 3

[Kai Staats]

Kai,

> yesterday I lectured in the my LUG about the PS3 and YDL and since I
> still have no HD-TV i used a Beamer (NEC VT695) to present my slides
> with YDL. First I bootet into ydltext and set the ps3videomode 3 (720p)
> because the beamer is capable of displaying a maximum resolution of
> 1600x1200 pixels. The native resolution is 1024x768. After setting the
> videomode I ran Xautoconfig and started X.

> The strange thing was that at first the desktop area was located in the

> desktop was shifted in the corner I could access the E17 menu by right
> clicking on the background. After reseting the desktop the shelf didn't

This HOWTO is very thorough, but it does not, cannot take into account all 
possible configurations of monitors:
