I have a Alienware Area 51 with an ATI Radeon X1800 video card and am running Linux
Mandriva 2007 and am trying to figure out how to configure X to utilize the S video out right now I have a HD TV and am only seeing the screen that is on my laptop in the very middle of the TV the screen. The height of the picture is taller than the screen and the width is all scrunched up ? How do I configure ? Here

is part of my xorg.conf

Option "NoTV" "yes"
Option "NoTV" "yes"
Option "TVHPosAdj" "0"
Option "TVHPosAdj" "0"
Option "TVHSizeAdj" "0"

Do not know, but people will need more info, for example which driver you use.

Keep looking at xorg.conf
You can also try the vesa mode 800*600.
Often above this the TV-out does not work. but this is all information for older card than yours

look also in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any clues or error messages
