With difficulty, and without the niceness of the Windows driver
features, because ATI don't release details of the hardware.
1. Install the 'atitvout' package.
2. Plug the S-Video cable into the computer and a TV.
3. Reboot *with* that cable in place.
4. Start X.[1]
5. Set the resolution to 800x600 or less.[2]
6. Run 'atitvout' to set the TV standard (PAL/NTSC)
7. Run 'atitvout' to turn on the TV display.
Read the hints that atitvout shows if run without arguments, especially
the bit about trying with '-f' and '-r'.
My machine needs the mode set with no flag, but the tv output with one
of them[3] set, and it only works if I ask for TV only.

[2] I use the 'gvidm' package to do this on the fly.
[3] I never remember which, so I need to try both each time.
