what I did was try out different modes with the ps3-video-mode
tool and then when it looked right used it with no options to
get the actual mode number.

so for me it was:
ps3-video-mode -c -v 11

I had to use -c to get black looking right

and then using it by itself got
1547

Not really.

yum install fluxbox

then set your .xinitrc as follows

#!/bin/sh
# Start the Fluxbox Window Manager
exec /usr/bin/startfluxbox

first thing you'll want to do is run fluxbox-generate-menu

had been using fluxbox on the PS2 for years.
