Re: ATI Radeon TV out



Try the following:
	Boot with the tv connected to the svideo port.
	Start X with the 'vesa' driver, and with a resolution < 1024x768
	Do:
		#atitvout -f pal*
		#atitvout -f t

*I use ntsc so I have no idea if this will help, it's the -f (or -r depending 
on your chipset**)

**Don't believe the man page section entitled 'MISC' which says to use -f for 
Rage Mobility and -r for Radeon. If one doesn't work try the other.

Also, if you lose both displays, try typing atvtvout -f l to force the lcd 
back on. 

Even when it works for me, it's not perfect (I have the M9), but good luck.

it pretty much unusable to bother with.
