Thanks Akta77, I guess I'll just have to wait to see when someone gets this working for 2.10.

Unfortunately after updating ps3 to 2.10 Gentoo is not booting anymore :(

And for some reason I can't install any Linux. :(
Tried Ubuntu, YDL, Gentoo.
On Gentoo the only thing I see is black screen, my monitor is not even going on from standby, ubuntu is freezing after kboot, ydl also freezing after kboot. :(

For those of you that have not upgraded and wishes to use PSN but do not know how to do this or have troubles to bypass firmware check :

- A topic exist in this forum to deal with that.
- If the informations are not "easy" enough or you have troubles to do it, here is my "Linux" solutions :

> if you have a linksys / dd-wrt router, you have to activate local dns and edit your /etc/hosts like this:

just add
75.125.48.114 feu01.ps3.update.playstation.net
75.125.48.114 deu01.ps3.update.playstation.net
and restart DNSMasq (killall -1 dnsmasq)

> if you want to do it "yourself" just install squid & apache on a linux box and do the following :

Create the directory update/ps3/list/eu in your Apache root :
for me it is /var/www/htdocs/update/ps3/list/eu

And in the eu directory, create a file called ps3-updatelist.txt containing
# EU
Dest=85;ImageVersion=00000000;SystemSoftwareVersion=0.00;CDN=http://<your web server ip>/;CDN_Timeout=30;

and in the /etc/hosts of your server :
<server ip> feu01.ps3.update.playstation.net

restart squid, reconfigure your ps3 so it connects through the proxy... lets roll :)

!works for eu. Other country should modify according to localization.!

Ubuntu 7.10 RSX driver updated for the latest std kernel (revision 47).
Normally, the previous driver *should* still work but the upgrade process has deleted my .ko... Will change the path of the driver next time!

Sorry, misread your post, now see the smaller then sign, which means the driver doesn't apply to firmware == 2.10

How is HD Video playback with this (i.e. MKV files, WMV, etc)? How is non-HD video playback over wifi? My wifi non-HD video playback is pretty bad in totem.

Also, when I got wifi working correctly I had about 131 updates I needed to install after installing rc7. Are these updates ok (most will be, but the header/image updates are what I am concerned with). I don't want anything ripping out the rsx driver if possible.

Thanks!

Dear Akta77:

Thanks for the great jobs!!

I have just upgraded my ps3rsx from 1.0-1 to 1.0-3 on my Gutsy, it works great!! Yet the broken lines on the menu bar persist, and these invisible lines also flicker on the Firefox menu. Is it possible to remove these annoying defects in the future? I am using a traditional Chinese font as my system default, does this make any difference?

BTW, what's the difference between 1.0-1 and 1.0-3? Sorry for all the NOOB questions, yes, I am a NOOB...

Here is my output:

Dear Nodnol212:

It's a file w/o permission problem!!

you may try the following codes in a console to change the content of your xorg.conf

sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Press "i" to insert words, then press "ESC" to return to its command mode and type ":wq" to save the file...

Best regards

I saw someone ask if the drives worked with 1080p. I finally had a chance to try it and 1080p playback worked just fine with mplayer.

these instructions helped me out from page 13 or so of the push thread. i figured i would relocate it here... as i had to hunt them down for a nother install of linux. (forgot the password so had to reinstall)

to use the accelerated driver, you have to change xorg.conf from:
