Ubuntu x64 Radeon ATI 1550 TVout is rolling / flickering working xorg.conf
 
After much, much reading and tinkering i have become very familiar with xorg.conf. Im good at making backups and testing and such. When i started i could not even get the drivers to work with my radeon card.

Anyway long story short, everything is working, but my tv out "rolls". I can see my desktop on the tv but it seems to be rolling downwards. Of course everything is in my xorg.conf but could it be the refresh rate ? Anyone know of a easy way for testing or what my values should be for my tv ?

thanks, here is my xorg.conf

Code:

To be honest, your knowledge of the xorg.conf file would be a lot better than mine, although I do remember, back in high school, being told by my electronics teacher (who ran a mobile pc repair business part time) saying that TVs always come out with a bad picture because they can't run at a high enough frequency, so maybe if you tried setting it to run at a really ridiculously low frequency, if thats even possible, but thats the only suggestion I can give, good luck
