Thanks. I'd had MPlayer paused in the background, so had watched the Youtube videos with no sound originally; aside from pretty graphics the only real clue was the last half-second of the second linked video, where "RSX Rendering" just about scrolls onto the screen.

I'd originally inferred that you were referring to PS3 video driver support under Linux, however in light of the audio commentary on the first linked video I see that your words were carefully chosen.

I did upgrade my PS3 firmware beyond the point of no-support for otherOS - basically because it seemed any advantage I would hope to gain by running Linux on the PS3 was hobbled by the video driver support, or lack thereof.

Interesting developments - I'd be curious to see if this develops any further, given that the number of potential users of a PS3-supporting-otherOS are diminishing with every firmware upgrade performed.
