This command shows current video settings such as resolution, frame rate, color space, and so on, and switches them dynamically. usage: ps3videomode [options] options: --help, -h print this message --video, -v <ID> set video mode ID --full, -f use full screen mode --dither,-d use dither ON mode
full screen mode: <video mode ID> + 128 dither ON mode : <video mode ID> + 2048
If no arguments are given, ps3videomode displays the current video mode. example: ps3videomode -v 3 -f (720p 60Hz with full screen mode.) ps3videomode -v 131 (Same as above.)note:
* VESA resolutions are only valid for HDMI port. * The signal from HDMI port supports RGB color space regardless of video mode ID. * Don’t change the display resolution while sound is playing. * Don’t change the display resolution on X-Window. If you did, you need to restart the Xserver, because of current ps3fb driver doesn't use fixed size frame buffer. It is needed that 'line_length' of frame buffer is used as fixed value to realize changing resolution via X. * If you want to boot linux as specified video mode, you may use kernel parameter. It has been described on other section about How to Use Kboot.
