[ydl-gen] Direct Rendering support for PS3

[Warren Nagourney]

I stretched the window to about 900x900 and the speed dropped to  
about 30 fps. The "chunks" now came about 2 seconds apart.

I agree that the PS3 is not yet a good choice for graphics. My  
understanding is that the people doing "unofficial" development using  
the RSX now have an accelerated Xorg for 2D operations and a means of  
accelerating 3D as well, though not via OpenGL.  The latter might  
never happen: the "nouveau" 3D driver project for the Nvidia boards  
hasn't gotten OpenGL to work yet despite having several years and 40+  
developers. The current RSX project has 2+ developers (brilliant  
though they are) and has been in existence for several weeks. I am  
hoping to use their efforts, though I will need to switch to a Fedora  
6+ installation, since YDL doesn't support a sufficiently recent  
glibc or Xorg.

Good luck.
