Ok. Now just type in init 5 and when you get in to the graphical login you will login with root again. Then just change the yaboot.conf file by opening a terminal from Applications-->Accessories-->Terminal and typing in:

Code:
su password: gedit /etc/yaboot.conf
You are going to scroll down and look for a line that looks like this:

append="rhgb quiet root=LABEL=/1"

Change the line inside the parenthesis to this:

"video=ps3fb:mode:1 rhgb quiet root=LABEL=/1"

Save and exit.

The yaboot.conf file is the file that tells YDL in what resolution to boot in. The number 1 is the standard denotation for 480i. If you want it to display in 576i then you would replace the 3 with a 6. Keep in mind that those numbers will make black borders on the TV. If you want fullscreen then just add 128 to the number. The bad thing with fullscreen on an SDTV is that it will overscan and the picture will extend beyond the TV frame. There is no current fix for this. That is why Terrasoft Recommends using YDL on an HDTV.

Now we are going to edit the /etc/inittab which is the file that tells YDL to boot into the graphical login instead of the text login.

Assuming you still have the terminal open type in:

Code:
gedit /etc/inittab
If you don't then just type in su and your password again.

Now scroll down and look for a line that looks like something like this:

id:3:initdefault:

Change the 3 to a 5. Save and now reboot your PS3. If everything goes correctly you should be able to go to the graphical login.

Now that you have that done login as root and then go to Applications-->System Tools-->Users and Groups. From there create your user acount, log off, and log in with your user acount to make sure that it works. Fini monsieur. C'est tres long et grand por moi ecrite. Hope it helps.
