Post Semi-full YDL5 screen modes / remove black borders!

If you're also annoyed by non-fullscreen modes in YDL5 and missing part of the picture when in real full mode (due to the TV overscan) here is a brief guide how to fix that (it's just a first quick draft but if there will be more intererst I'll do a full guide including screenshot, comments etc.):

Please follow this excellent guide from hacked2123 with following addtions:

7.92 TYPE gedit drivers/video/ps3fb.c
7.93 Press CTRL+F, in the search box type in PS3FB_RES_FULL and click on Find (or scroll down by cca 7 PgDwns)
7.94 in the table bellow amend lines { 1280, 720, 78, 38, 0} and {1920, 1080, 116, 58, 0} to { 1280, 720, 38, 18, 0} and {1920, 1080, 64, 32, 0}

Please note that values 38 / 18 and 64 / 32 are results of several experiments and might be slightly different depending on overscan values of your telly.

7.95 Save the file and close the editor.

If you'll be trying several various values you don't need to follow the whole procedure again - use the shorted one bellow (e.g. after first compile when you're still not satisfied with the screen setup or when you've done already the UDF / NTFS support beforehand):

1. Boot into OtherOS

2.1. Login as root

3. PRESS ALT+Esc and TYPE termininal and then PRESS up THEN enter (or click the terminal icon)
4. TYPE cd linux (That's cd SPACE linux)

7.92 TYPE gedit drivers/video/ps3fb.c
7.93 Press CTRL+F, in the search box type in PS3FB_RES_FULL and click on Find (or scroll down by cca 7 PgDwns)
7.94 in the table bellow amend lines { 1280, 720, 78, 38, 0} and {1920, 1080, 116, 58, 0} to { 1280, 720, 38, 18, 0} and {1920, 1080, 64, 32, 0}

7.95 Save the file and close the editor.

8. TYPE make vmlinux

9. TYPE make modules
10. TYPE make modules_install

10.1 TYPE rm /boot/initrd_NTFS_UDF.img
10.2 confirm deletion with y ENTER

11. TYPE mkinitrd /boot/initrd_NTFS_UDF.img 2.6.16
12. TYPE cp vmlinux /boot/vmlinux_NTFS_UDF
12.1 Confirm overwrite with y ENTER

13. TYPE cp System.map /boot/System.map
13.1 Confirm overwrite with y ENTER

16. ... reboot
17. When kboot: comes up type ydl_ntfs_udf (or use the TAB key to cycle though the option to select desired one)
17.1. PRESS enter

Please note that it's possible that not all the above steps in short version are necessary but it worked for me.

I'll appreciate any feedback / comments regarding above procedures.
