Ok, everything looks well with both xf86-video-spu and spu-medialib, i.e you have got them installed correctly. Both libraries have also got all needed dependencies ( well, I knew this from start, btw ), which is also a good thing.

I actually went to mplayer's irc channel ad got some help with this. though no of them could find out whats wrong with it. they also told me to do this:

Of course none of them would be able to find what is wrong with the driver. Mplayer is not responsible for external Xvideo drivers and even Xvideo itself. ( It is just one of the vo - video output drivers that they have. ) Xvideo is related to Xorg and they actually have a few line paragraph about ps3. However, xf86-video-spu hasn't been updated since 2007. And I believe the author is not interested in it now due to recent "updates" with ps3. ( Both software and hardware. ) So there is no point asking Mplayer or Xorg team.

I don't know for sure, but you have probably wrote "spufbdev" insteed of "spu_fbdev" in your xorg.conf. ( Your error back then stated that it couldn't load "spufbdev" module, which of course we don't have. ) I hope this is the case. You can make a backup copy of xorg.conf and edit it as I have posted in my first post. Remember that you change "fbdev" to "spu_fbdev".

Hi guys, i have same problem with failing X.
I tried to rename spu_fbdev_drv.so to spufbdev_drv.so.
Changed in xorg.conf from fbdev to spufbdev and still crash of X with "Failed to load module "spufbdev"(Module does not exist, 0").
I do not know maybe kernel from bodega repos or smthing else?

If I understand this correctly, You need to rename the driver to spu_fbdev_drv.so and then change the xorg.conf file to reflect this, By using spu_fbdev for xorg and then it should find the driver!

This is what I hate - when some things are updated dramatically. This is what happened with Xorg server. ( Even though the difference between YDL 6.0 and YDL 6.1 / YDL 6.2 is supposed to be small. )
And now I am actually sure of it. Remember xorg-x11-drv-joystick ? ( Or package that had similar name. ) Everything was fine with YDL 6.0 and the driver was working when using Sixaxis as mouse - no X crashes. ( I have tested it myself. Even more, I have used same sections of xorg.conf from Ubuntu 7.10 to map buttons/axis. This is btw a reason why I have choosed old version. ) And what about YDL 6.1 ? I was never been able to get it to work - X crashes. And I have went through a lot of trouble and tutorials. Only few people said that they were able to succeed, using methods other then editing xorg.conf. Yet there are a lot of posts that users failed to get it to work.

Thanks, Jaybps3, this is what I wrote in the guide. I hope it will work.

I have done this at first attempt, with same result (xorg.conf=spu_fbdev and spu_fbdev_drv.so)
I was just looking for possibility to fix this problem.
I am not so retarded as my english

I see. It seems like what happened with "getting Sixaxis to work as mouse" topics will happen with my tutorial. I have spent some time making it after all.
So, in the end, I guess, the only thing I can add to my post now:
"Works only on YDL 6.0 due to being compatible with its Xserver firmware."

How about to delete actual X and install version form ydl 6.0 dvd?

Absolutely NO. You will break everything that depends on Xorg/X11. You don't want to crash your GUI/Xorg, do you ?

I am just desperate, it will seriously destroy my gui?
