ok, problem solved after I re-installed 32-bit userland instead of the 64-bit I was using. It seems that Xorg's fbdev has broken composite support in 64-bit. Users trying this RSX driver must be aware. It seems Gentoo won't allow running 64-bit binaries in 32-bit userland, but to have WPA encryption...

Thanks for the pointers. I checked out swsusp, which is now called TuxOnIce, but it requires patching the kernel and enabling HIBERNATION option, which in turn requires HOTPLUG for SMP architectures, which again is not an option for ps3's Cell CPU. So I guess all I have to do is to power off and on....

Ha! I'm such a fool... the booting message for kboot clearly shows that:

SD card is /dev/sdb
CF card is /dev/sdc

So There is no need to fiddle with MMC/SD kernel modules!

I'm using a PS3 80G with firmware 1.80, and followed d-range's instruction for Gentoo. The ps3rsx.ko kernel module loads fine: $ dmesg|grep rsx ps3rsx: PS3 RSX access module, 1.0.0 ps3rsx: reserved XDR memory is @c000000000d00000, len 18874368 ps3rsx: 254MB of DDR video ram a...

I tried to compile MMC/SD support into the ps3 2.6.23-r1 kernel, but loading the controller module wbsd.ko gives a segmentation fault. I'm not sure if Winbond W83L51xD is the right interface driver, but that's the only option in kernel menuconfig. Does anyone know how to get MMC/SD working under PS3...

Hi, I just grabbed a PS3 80GB and installed Gentoo Linux on it. I wonder if ACPI works at all for PS3, that is, can I put PS3 to sleep and later wake it up? Then I don't have to worry about shutting down it every night and and restarting it every morning. Also I notice that when I leave it idle for ...

Not sure if you know this, or if this is of any help... but there is already some work done on H264 encoding on PS3, which won some competition IBM once held: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cell-h264/
