What exactly does this driver provide, I am trying to get MythTV to work(properly) on my PS3 and am hoping that this driver will help.

Can I get XV out of it?

I don't know enough about the different layers of video in XWindows so my question probably doesn't make sense :)

Hello, I'm also trying to get mythfrontend working. These are my results.

Mythfrontend can't make use of Xv but mplayer can. I thought that it was an unsupported color conversion from the TV to the screen. That does not seem to be the case since mplayer can use Xv when playing the .mpgs created by mythtv.

Can this be made to work without needing to patch mythtv or the driver?

Pardon my quick, unresearched answer, but isn't there an option to make mythtv use mplayer for all video playback instead of the built-in player?

tephra · Post by **tephra** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 6:01 pm

there is - but its kinda gumby, ie you loose remote control etc etc..

maybe there should be a separate thread for ps3/mythtv since there seems to be enough of us interested in getting it going...

back on topic - will the patches here every be merged into the kernel mainline? or at least geoffs tree?

Audball · Post by **Audball** » Sat Dec 15, 2007 10:56 pm

d-range,
Thanks for the excellent instructions. They worked for me without a hitch. I'd been looking for how to install the kernel source for a few days without success until you posted your instructions. The only thing I changed from your instructions is that I placed ps3rsx.ko in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 instead of running insmod in the startup. Working on getting mythfrontend running now.
P.S. sorry for the late post, but I've been insane busy at work this week.

hey guys

just one short question:

what things i have to change in my xorg.conf ??

cause i installed the deb-package for the 2.6.22.14-kernel, but there isn´t more speed .... screensavers for example still doesn´t work pretty much .... like before

so, it would be nice, if you could be more detailed ;)

thanx - anyway, if it works- GREAT JOB !!! :D

Hi,

From a previous Glaurung post :
"To use the accelerated driver, you have to change xorg.conf from:
Code:

Driver "fbdev"

to
Code:

Driver "ps3"

Also, adding the following section is recommended (enable Composite):

Code:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
"

i have installed ubuntu with the 23-rc7 kernel and followed the guide with
ps3rsx.so and ps3drv.so but i used the first files not the 23-rc7(i think for gentoo!?)!!!
And now i start the ps3 and hit enter at kboot, it starts with the boot
and then there is no picture on the screen only black!!!
I think because i used the wrong driver!?

What can i do to get it showing again(without reinstalling the whole system)?

And what should i do the next time with the rsx?
I hope you can help me!

You just have to start in "single user" mode :

On kboot prompt:

linux 1
or
linux init=/bin/sh

Thanks!!!!!
It worked, now i have access to the shell.

Now i changed "ps3" back to "fbdev" but its the same black screen!
Must i revert the "modprobe" thing? When yes, then how?

type this

Code: Select all

echo "modprobe ps3rsx" >> /etc/conf.d/local.start

and reboot your system, should fix it.
also change back driver back to ps3

I may have messed something up with the 2.6.23-rc7 (wrong path for the module). Il will check this out this evening and post a new package.

Can anyone who has tried mythfrontend with the accelerated driver comment on myth's performance with the new driver???

I'm trying to justify a PS3 X-mas present, and any ammunition helps ....

This driver seems to work i must install it with "ignore-depends" because it required "linux-image-cell".
p.s. schould i change the fbdev to ps3 in the xorg config?

As we say in France "Jamais 2 sans 3 :)" I had'nt my PS3 to test the n°2 release, just quickly corrected the wrong path. There was an error with revision too (2.6.23rc7 is not "stock Ubuntu").

This one is the GOOD one :) Fully tested :p

http://www.choeursdaromes.com/ps3rsx-1. ... .23rc7.deb

Yes, you still have to modify your xorg.conf, but i am writing a very tiny little shell script to do it automatically. I am also setting up an ubuntu repo.
Think i will build an up2date geoff kernel too with the driver included.

We should build a GeeXbox PS3 optimised system if the researched goal is an accelerated Media Player :)

As GeeXbox is built on top of Slack (in my far far remembers), i think i will start to work on this as soon as possible.

Thanks for all the hard work, everyone.
A (hopefully) small question:

I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 as described at psubuntu.com. I then did the automatic update thing, restarted, and installed the ps3rsx-1.0-1.deb package. I lastly updated the xorg.conf file as mentioned earlier in this thread. Upon restarting, however, instead of getting the ubuntu graphic login screen I get the following error:

usplash: no usable theme found for 576x384
screen init failed

and an opportunity to login via command line.
I'm connected to an old SD tv (as you probably guessed from the screen size)

I've also tried running

Code: Select all

echo "modprobe ps3rsx" >> /etc/rc.local

(since Ubuntu has no conf.d folder) and restarting, with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.

But also, I had to change my bootloader. The one I was using was from here, but I have had to change to the petitboot version from within this rar archive here.

I normally switch between YDL 5.0.1 on my internal drive and Fedora 7 on an 8 GB USB flash drive by changing bootloaders ... The one from the YDL 5.0.1 CD still works fine, but the one I have been using for Fedora 7 / 8 doesn't do anything at all.

The graphical petitboot version (here) works fine, though.

Anyone else having similar problems with FW 2.1?

From your log it looks like Sony fixed lv1 gpu memory allocate with size 0.

It means for example that old linux kernels are also incompatible with FW 2.1.

Not sure, it is hard to say something from these lines.

A (hopefully) small question:

I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 as described at psubuntu.com. I then did the automatic update thing, restarted, and installed the ps3rsx-1.0-1.deb package. I lastly updated the xorg.conf file as mentioned earlier in this thread. Upon restarting, however, instead of getting the ubuntu graphic login screen I get the following error:

usplash: no usable theme found for 576x384
screen init failed

and an opportunity to login via command line.
I'm connected to an old SD tv (as you probably guessed from the screen size)

I've also tried running
Code: Select all
echo "modprobe ps3rsx" >> /etc/rc.local
(since Ubuntu has no conf.d folder) and restarting, with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.

You do not need to do the "echo "modprobe ps3rsx" >> /etc/rc.local" as the script is already adding a line to /etc/modules...

What are saying the logs?

[snip]

I normally switch between YDL 5.0.1 on my internal drive and Fedora 7 on an 8 GB USB flash drive by changing bootloaders ... The one from the YDL 5.0.1 CD still works fine, but the one I have been using for Fedora 7 / 8 doesn't do anything at all.

I assume that the YDL system on the flash drive does not have ps3rsx installed on it?

Yes, you still have to modify your xorg.conf, but i am writing a very tiny little shell script to do it automatically. I am also setting up an ubuntu repo.

i changed the "fbdev" to "ps3" in Devices in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
but when i restart it shows me the following error:

Code: Select all

failed to load module "ps3" &#40;module requirement mismatch,0&#41;
no drivers available

Why? And what should i do?

Actually it's F7 I have on the flash drive and YDL I have on the internal drive, but that is correct -- the YDL system doesn't have ps3rsx installed on it.

The custom YDL 5.0.1 kernel as described (and was previously working) in this post no longer boots. It appears to hang up shortly after kboot. Sorry but I don't have any log / errors to show for it.

Is this what you were looking for?

It seems you have updated to 2.10 firmware. The ps3rsx kernel modules fails to init.

You have to switch back to the std fb driver (dpkg -r ps3rsx) and revert your changes in xorg.conf, or you can help IronPeter & Glaurung :)

some suggestions for d-ranges tutorial:

3) emerge dtc:
a typo:

< echo "=sys-apps/dtc-1.0.0 ~ppc" >> /etc/portage.package.keywords
> echo "=sys-apps/dtc-1.0.0 ~ppc" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

and i had to "emerge --sync" first.

6) build the kernel using genkernel.
i had to do a

touch /usr/include/asm/page.h

else, some libbb could not be compiled. genkernel exits with error, and the new kernel is not installed properly.

kboot
and i have the standard kboot from gentoo, and used this line in kboot.conf:

gentoo2='sda1:/boot/kernel-genkernel-ppc64-2.6.23 initrd=sda1:/boot/initramfs-genkernel-ppc64-2.6.23 root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/ps3da1 init=/linuxrc video=ps3fb:mode:131 rhgb'

note: my kboot uses old sda1 notation, the new kernel the "ps3da1" one

and:
1) emerge git with http support:

< # USE="curl" emerge git
> # USE="curl" emerge dev-util/git

because there's another "git" in app-misc/

conclusion

I used mplayer and freevo, all movie files i tried played fine. cool :-)

i forgot: freevo and X crashed when i switched from X to console and back again. so dont do that :)
