WUXGA video modes
Video modes
The PS3 uses a set number of basic video modes, denoted by number rather than by resolution:
60Hz modes
1:480i 2:480p 3:720p 4:1080i 5:1080p
50Hz modes
6:576i 7:576p 8:720p 9:1080i 10:1080p
VESA modes
11:WXGA 12:SXGA 13:WUXGA
60Hz modes are suitable for NTSC televisions, 50Hz modes are suitable for PAL and SECAM
televisions, VESA modes are suitable for computer monitors. An "i" after a resolution represents an
Interlace mode, and a "p" represents a Progressive scan mode. Except for old style CRT televisions,
progressive scan is usually the better choice. On top of these basic video modes, several variations are
possible when using the ps3videomode tool. The default is YPbPr (called YUV by ps3videomode) and
Overscan. RGB and / or full screen can be chosen instead. The best variations for you depend on the
monitor or television you use. We recommend that you find the basic video mode that works best for
you, then try out the variations later.
During installation
When installing Yellow Dog Linux 5.0, you will need a monitor or television capable of at least 3:720p
in order to perform a graphical install. If you do not have this capability, or running "install" at the
KBoot prompt does not work with your monitor or television, "installtext" may be used instead. This
will force the Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 installer to run in a low-resolution text mode.
Once the system is installed, you will need to start your system by typing "ydltext" and hitting enter at
the KBoot prompt. This will start Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 in a low resolution text mode.
