I can't remember for sure, but I think one of my friends was telling
me that they were complaining (on the Japanese mailing lists) that the
linux kit does not offer access to the ps2's graphics capabilities...

I'm not sure if that means they haven't figured out how to do it, of
if they simply cannot.

On the bright side, my understanding is that in the linux kit there
are some interesting manuals in both Japanese and English about the
architecture and instruction set of the various components...
Supposedly they are not the same "version" of the document though.
