Description of problem:

Installing on PS3 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=370761)
Work around this with an updated videocard.py, one still can't configure
the system (I had 480i display initially and now want to move to 1080p)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run 'system-config-display' on PS3
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Python failure:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 381, in <module>
    dialog = xConfigDialog.XConfigDialog(hardware_state, xconfig,
rhpxl.videocard.VideoCardInfo())
  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xConfigDialog.py", line 533, in __init__
    self.state.recalc_mode()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rhpxl/xhwstate.py", line 387, in
recalc_mode
    self.colordepth = availableDepth[-1]
IndexError: list index out of range

Have you tried using ps3videomode to change the resolution? 
ps3videomode -v 5 will change it to 1080p

In /etc/yaboot.conf you can append 

video=1080p

to make the change permanent. system-config-display will not work for this...

If you wanted system-config-display to work you'd probably need to submit a
feature request to support it.

Comment 2 Gary Thomas 2007-12-10 08:08:04 UTC

Even if this is the case, running 'system-config-display' (which is what
happens with the menu item Sytem->Administration->Display) should not
crash (if you use the menu, it just silently goes away...)
