yep your stuffed . Strange that sony put out a linux OS that cannot be
displayed on practically all computer monitors. It gets worse, the hd tv
screens don't fit nicely on your computer desk as they are TVs to be placed
in living rooms. I work with VNC, you can run gui menu type appliactions if you
know their comand line invocation. so you don't have do startx. But this of course
misses out on 95 per cent of linux applications. I'm reasonably happy as I'm just
after cell sdk learning for those spus.

Search on hdcp strippers. These are hardware dongles that incorporate
or mimic (once the secret keys are compremised) the hdcp chips that do the
authentication protocol from hdcp player to reciever (display).

Beware the claims that many digital high def signal convertors/splitters box
vendors may fix your problem. You have to have specificaly the hdcp protocol.

I'm waiting for developments with something called HDfury. There should soon
be a recognised market for such dongles.
