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
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:
