After a bit of experimentation, I did get this working using fglrx_6_8_0-8.12.10-1.i386.rpm and an X300 card. I ran fglrxconfig, setting my monitor in clone mode; monitor 2 is TV out. You have to restart X (startx) when your tv is connected and turned on. I did have to use the --force option as I did get the "conflicts with file from package XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4..." message during install. The documentation, which does not appear to be up to date nor finished, is here: /usr/share/doc/fglrx/ driverfaq.html index.html issues.html linuxfaq.html tips-linux.html user-manual/index.html Sean Q wrote: > Hi, I know this is a long shot - and it might not strictly be related > to this list (well it is and it isn't really) but I am curious if > anyone out there is using a radeon X800 video card and has managed to > get TV out working with it? > > The whole Linux TV, PVR/VDR thing isn't much use to me without TV out. > Unfortunately regardless of what drivers I have used, whethere they > are propriatory ATI fglrx, or open source ATI, vesa or whatever, I > can't seem to get TV out working. > > Any hints or tips anyone can offer (particularly if anybody has one of > these cards) would be very much appreciated. > > Best regards, > > GJ > > _______________________________________________ > vdr mailing list > vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx > http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr >
