I’m working on a PS3 project using SDL. Since PS3
linux is limited to 256MB, I wanted to run it straight
from the command-line rather than use Xorg.
However, SDL fails to initialize when I set height and
width greater than 640x480. I was able to run the
testbitmap sample modified for 720p from within Xorg,
but not from the command line.
Is this a known problem?____________________________________________________________________________________

I haven’t looked at SDL on the PS3. Is there an existing port, or are
you using the PS2 code? I imagine HD resolutions aren’t in the PS2
resolution constants.
You’re welcome to submit a patch if you find out what they should use.
See ya!

Nah, I’m working through the PS3 OtherOS hypervisor.
Its basically the Cell and 256MB system ram with a
framebuffer. Access to the GPU is blocked. I just
compiled SDL from source which has been great, except
for this one problem.
i thought that both use the ps3 framebuffer for both console and
xorg ? so it should be getting the exact same resolution.

i think the drivers for ps2 and ps3 are different. dont think ps2
sdl would work on ps3. different kernel, and different abstraction
layer (ps2 runtime and ps3 hypervisor)
