Ok, i got everything installed last night
Here a question

Everything is really big, i cant change the resolution. Its stuck at 576x384
How do i fix this.

I hear it can be fixed in the x.org

If this is the only way to fix it, can some one do a step by step as I dont have much experiance with linux.

I too just started diving into all this mess and had the same problem.

If you are using hdmi apparently what i did should prob work for you too:


On the desktop click in the start menu: Applications>Accessories>Terminal

Then a window will come up.


type the following:

sudo nano /etc/event.d/ps3videomode


That should pull up another window. In it type:

start on runlevel 2
exec /usr/bin/ps3videomode -v 0

After that hit ctrl+o
Then hit enter.
then hit ctrl+x

Then restart the whole system.

That worked for me. From what i understand...Basically what its doing is making ubuntu auto-detect your resolution availabilty, and adjusting your screen to it.

Here's a link with more details
