I've seen some problems listed here but I didn't see any that related to my problem specifically.
YDL 5.0.1
PS3
Samsung LE23R7 HDTV [connected via HDMI]
The monitor is capable of 720p and is PAL
I installed this morning and everything went fine. The resolution was a bit off so I checked the How To bits over at the TDL site and it showed me how to edit the kboot.conf file and xorg.conf files to change the video resolution.

I did so and when I rebooted for the first time, everything was fine. Setting the video mode to 8 [50Hz 720p] seemed to stop the flickering that there had been but the actual resolution didn't look any different. I logged out after this to log back in as user and the screen sort of split into two. Both had identical things on them and I could see 2 mouse points. I could only see the top part of the YDL login logo and this was the same even after I logged in.
I thought it was something the matter with my custom kboot.conf config that I had made and set to default, so I went into text mode, logged in as root and rebooted. I waited for the kboot prompt and chose the ydl option whch is the default after a clean install. Unfortunately, on boot nothing hs changed and I still get the split screen thing.
I'm new to Linux and I'm sure this is a problem that I have created by changing the conf files but I'm sure I followed the direction given by the above link to the letter.
Let me know if you need a picture of the split screen thing and I'll get one up. Also, if there's any more information needed, then let me know :)
