Hi,

I have a ATI radeon mobility 9700SE, I am using ati-drivers 8.22. When I plug my laptop on TV thanks to a s-video cable, I can see my desktop. Unfortunately, when I want to read a video (via mplayer etc.) I get a black windows on TV and the file is correctly read on my laptop.

Here's my xorg.conf:
Code:

Section "ServerLayout"

Thank you for your reply. Could you tell me exactly where I can set the export stream of my card when you will get back your laptop.
