 Posted: Wed Mar 09, 2005 12:44 am Post subject: Radeon 8500 + fglrx + X just will not talk to my tv-out |
 |
|
I have a Radeon 8500 with a CRT out, DVI out and a TV out. Ideally I want to use all three - have the desktop between the two monitors and use the TV out for media playback as-and-when. I'm trying to configure X to display something, anything on my TV, but so far I've had no luck whatsoever. I don't really know what I'm doing and I've spent the past three evenings randomly changing things in the hope that they'll help. Most times even just plugging the svideo lead into the tv-out completely hangs the X server, forcing me to hard-reset the computer - I can only hazard a guess that the X-server is tripping up over hsync/vsync settings and it's taking keyboard control with it. The closest I've got to it working is the following xorg.conf which I nicked off some website somewhere - it lets me get into kde with the svideo lead plugged into the tvout without falling over, although I don't see anything on the TV screen. The only time I ever see anything on the TV screen is during bootup, but as soon as X loads the picture goes.

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was hardcrafted created by Philip Van Hoof. It's purpose is to
# be the configuration of X.Org for the Acer Travelmate 8000 laptop which
# has a Radeon 9600M and a 1400x1050 laptop panel. This configuration is
# ment for those who want to use the closedsource fglrx driver from ATI on
# for example Debian and/or Ubuntu systems
#
# To install their binary-driver, you can convert their RPM package using
#
# alien -d originalfilename.rpm
# dpkg -i --force-overwrite originalfilename.deb
#
# For example (on Mon Feb 14, 2005 you would have to type:)
# alien -d fglrx_6_8_0-8.8.25-1.i386.rpm
# dpkg -i --force-overwrite fglrx-6-8-0_8.8.25-2_i386.deb
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following commands:
#
# cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom
# sudo sh -c 'md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf >/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum'
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Has anyone got a working fglrx + tvout xorg.conf that they'd be willing to share (particularly if it's dual monitor + tvout), or can anyone spot what's wrong with this one? |

|

| I just removed Radeon 9200 from my computer and replaced it with Radeon 8500 and now my TV-out doesn't work anymore, so I have exactly the same problem. TV-out works during booting, but when I launch xorg it doesn't work anymore. Radeon 9200 worked just fine, so this problem has to be Radeon 8500 related. |
