PostPosted: Wed Nov 10, 2004 4:19 am    Post subject: Another xorg + ati problem Reply with quote

I have been all over the forums and can't seem to find the help I need.

I have xorg 6.8 and an ati radeon 8000-something and I am trying to get tv out working. Here are the specifics:

- I have no monitor hooked up to the card, just one tv
- I don't care about getting 3d acceleration or anything special. I just want to be able to start X.
- I have tried fglrx, ati, and radeon as the driver for my device. I've also tried using just plain vga. It always just goes to a blank screen and then Alt+F1 won't take me back to the console and I have to reboot.
- I have tried many different resolutions.
- It works fine when outputting to a monitor. Other computers running gentoo with an nvidia card work fine when outputting to the same TV.

# Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><Fn> VT switch sequence
# (where n is 1 through 12).  This allows clients to receive these key
# events.

# This allows clients to receive this key event.

#    Option "DontZap"

# Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> mode switching
# sequences.  This allows clients to receive these key events.

#    Option "Dont Zoom"

# Uncomment this to disable tuning with the xvidtune client. With
# it the client can still run and fetch card and monitor attributes,
# but it will not be allowed to change them. If it tries it will
# receive a protocol error.

#    Option "DisableVidModeExtension"

# Uncomment this to enable the use of a non-local xvidtune client.

#    Option "AllowNonLocalXvidtune"

# Uncomment this to disable dynamically modifying the input device
