Well, in the meantime I had to downgrade to the X server in testing,
due to a problem with the latest ati driver and not having any of the
intermediate debs, so at present, xrandr shows:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1200
default connected 1600x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1600x1200 60.0*
[*snip many other resolutions*]
*AND* the second screen is gone from the xfce config.
But, yes, apparently my card *does* have a TV out header/chip, even
though it doesn't have the actual external connector, and newer drivers
detect/activate it (I've seen this in the logs) so I'm pretty sure
you're correct about what was going on.
Thanks
Steve
