Linux Wiimote Whiteboard On PS3

Hey guys,


i am trying the wiimote whiteboard project on my ps3 as i don't have a bluetooth adapter so i installed gutsy gibbon ubuntu 7.10 on the ps3 then later updated it to ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron but now i can't boot from the kboot prompt unless i type in "old" then the screen resolution reverts toa default 530 by something...so i have to type in "old linux video=ps3fb:mode:3" to get it up to resolution that i can see on my 50". any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?
another thought is to install a different OS on the ps3 but i don't which one will let me use the ps3 for the wiimote whiteboard project...

Sorry dude, no idea how to do what you want.

But damn that video is sick, I just got a wii (for free, won it.) This has to be done by me

 

I know its sick, thats y i want to do it...so i am resorting to a ps3 (which i won) that has built in bluetooth capability...i am going to get a wiimote ($45 CAD) after i am done exams but till then i need to get these issues fixed along with what compiler to use and if someone has the whiteboard progeam for ppc systems.

 

any body else have any ideas?

 

What does the proper distro do?(yellow dog or what ever its called?)

 

Sodding computer, delete please.

 

Your /etc/kboot.conf should look something like this:

Code:

default=linux
timeout=10
root="LABEL=/"

linux="/boot/vmlinux-2.6.16 initrd=/boot/initrd.img

What you need to do is add this:

Code:

linux="/boot/vmlinux-2.6.16 initrd=/boot/initrd.img [b]video=ps3fb:mode:3[/b]"

You might also have to add old before the /boot/vmlinux.

 

i don't know y but before i could try to implement these new changes i couldn't boot into linux at all...i think i will have to start all over again. this time i will try it after my exams are done...thnkx for the input guys
