ati tv-out blue screen problem
 

I am running Debian Sarge, I have setup ATI card and ran fglrxconfig.

I am running the card in clone mode with a external TV.

I can get my desktop to run fine on both displays, but when I run mplayer, xawtv, etc ... it runs fine on the monitor and on the TV or external display it just displays a blue screen.

Any helpful information would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have the exact same problem. I believe it's got to do with Video Overlay. In WinXP I also have this problem initially, but the ATI Windows drivers allows an option in the "Video Overlay" tab that fixes this. Still looking for an answer for Linux.
