Yellow Dog Linux

Okay, please bear with me as I have no knowledge whatsoever regarding how to use Linux. I just got it because I heard it was an OS you could install on the PS3. I think it's pretty cool, seems to run pretty fast, but here's my problem:

Ignoring suggestions from others regarding not to install Linux on a PS3 when I only had a standard def TV, I did it anyways--found out how to on YouTube.

The Question: I have a 1080p plasma tv now. When I boot up Linux, it now runs in 480p, but that's it. Can't I run it in 720p, 1080i, or 1080p? I would like to run it in 1080p, if I could.

For anyone who could help me, please be as descriptive and clear as possible, as I have no knowledge of anything Linux. xP

I would love to learn how to use this thing. lol. Thanks for reading this.

This covers most of the basics of video on the PS3.

Cool, cool. Thanks for all the input. I never thought I'd get this thing working. =P

One more thing I wanted to say:

su -l

init 3

That's a "dash L", not a "dash one" after su.

Most people think of the "-" as a hyphen, as a dash is "--". Just something to think of when you're using precise, exact code.

But yeah.. thanks again :]
