The above lines DO NOT WRAP.
If none of these meet your needs, you may copy one of these lines, replace the label and edit the
video=ps3fb:mode:# number. For example, to make a new configuration named myconfig that will
start with mode 5:1080p:
myconfig='/dev/sda1:/vmlinux-2.6.16-20061110.ydl.1ps3
initrd=/dev/sda1:/initrd-2.6.16-20061110.ydl.1ps3.img
root=/dev/sda2 init=/sbin/init video=ps3fb:mode:5 rhgb'
The above lines DO NOT WRAP.
If you wish to make the the default boot, change the default=ydl line to read:
default=myconfig
When you reboot, it will use this video mode as the default.

Graphical mode configuration

You will also need to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf to make sure that the Linux graphic mode works fine.
Look for the Screen section and modify it to look like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
