dual screen/ tv output - help please
Hi everyone,
I'm new to SUSE and new to Linux. In order for it to replace Windows for me it needs to be doing a few things I haven't been able to figure out yet - one of them being the tv-output. I have an ati radeon x700-pro graphics card with svid output hooked up to my TV and my regular screen.
SUSE 9.3 recognizes the card and even gives me an option for dualscreen, but when I click apply in the ati-controlcenter it says I must restart X-server. I'm not entirely sure how to do that, but I hit ctrl+alt+BS log in and nothing changes. when I go back into the ati-center it didn't save the settings. If I click ok and reboot - same thing. nothing, the tv remains black.
I find it frustrating that windows has no problems detecting and using my tv.
I could try new drivers from the ati website - would that help maybe? Or will I have to manually edit the xorg.conf? Though I really don't see that happening, since I don't know any options to pass or what to do.
Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks in andvance!
