well when i try with borders my fbset is this:
576 460 576 460
if i set it like this:
fbset -a -xres 600 -yres 460 -vxres 600 -vyres 460
it gives me error invalid argument, practically telling me i cannot make the geometry bigger than that huh?
Huh? Sorry - I'm not following you here.
When you say "i try with borders", what does that mean? Do you mean you're running
ps3-video-mode -v 6? If so, I'd expect about 576 by 460 if you type
fbset -s. (I'm away from my PS3 right now, so I can't verify that number.)
Therefore, I don't think you can't use
fbset -a -xres 600 -yres 460 -vxres 600 -vyres 460 with that mode - the screen buffer only has 576 by 460 pixels. To try the
fbset -a -xres 600 -yres 460 -vxres 600 -vyres 460 mode, you'd have to use
ps3-video-mode -v 134 which should be something like 720 by 576.
Or - are you running
ps3-video-mode -v 134, and the only number that works is
fbset -a -xres 576 -yres 460 -vxres 576 -vyres 460? In that case, then - that's the only number that's probably going to work. You could try 640 instead of 600, but if that extends beyond your screen, then I guess that's it.

Hard to say how to make this happen. The PS3 is notoriously poor for supporting computer resolutions. Basically - it only supports HD (1980x1080, 1280x720), NTSC (720x480) & PAL (720x576) resolutions. Anything "computer-like" is really hard for it to do, if it can do it at all. (IIRC, the VESA resolutions listed are for HDMI only)
Your best shot is to work from
ps3-video-mode -v 134 and see if you can get it to near 640x480. You probably won't hit it exactly, though.
OPEN CALL: Anyone else near a PS3 with fbset able to help with this? I'm literally across the country from my PS3 right now, and unable to advise much further until later in the week.
Cheers,
