 Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2006 7:24 am Post subject: ATI 9800 TV-out [Solved] |
 |
|
I'm using a Radeon 9800 in a Myth box. Unfortunately with the move to modular Xorg and newer ati drivers my xorg.conf no longer seems to work properly. While I do get the desktop on the TV it appears to be scaled. MythTV's video is scaled way to large and I can't properly view anything. I'm no expert with xorg.conf files. Note, this is a single-head system with TV-out only. I've been googling, read the how-to's, searching the forums here and else where but I can't seem to get it working properly. I've actually purchased an Nvidia 5500 but I'd like to get this working in the mean time. Does anyone have a working xorg.conf or advice for ATIs TV-out?

So it looks like my problems been solved for now; I still think the card is doing some sort of scaling regardless of what I'm telling it to do.
