The PS3's hypervisor controls all access to the PS3 graphics hardware. The hypervisor only allows access to a framebuffer, and even then it's not direct access. The linux side writes to a frame buffer in main memory, then uses the hypervisor to trigger a DMA transfer that copies this to the real frame buffer on the GPU.

Therefore, we do NOT have accelerated graphix or direct graphix support in Linux. No Linux distro, Yellow Dog, Fedora Core whatever version, Gentoo, will be able to get around this Hypervisor limitation on the graphix until Sony releases the drivers for the GPU (or the community somehow hacks a driver).
