Micro Technologies' Radeon 9600SE
 

I have an old VIA based motherboard with a Sempron microprocessor in a half height case and a Micron Radeon 9600SE graphics card. This graphics card has a built-in S-Video and DVI outputs. I have a LCD monitor connected to BOTH the VGA and DVI outputs. However, I have a need to use the S-Video output and I don't have a clue how to configure it with either the open source radeon driver or ATI's fglrx driver *. I have a old, but rather expensive usb camera which includes a built-in capture card. The input on the camera's capture card is an RCA composite connector. I have an adapter cable from S-video to RCA so I can physically connect the output from the Radeon 9600SE to the RCA input on the camera's capture card. Now, how do I configure the Radeon 9600SE so I can output video to the camera's capture card? Is it possible? I've been asked to test the linux driver for this particular camera and testing the composite video input is important, but I don't have ANY other sources of composite video anymore, e.g. VCRs, etc.

TIA

* TV-Out? Again, I have no TVs or other composite sources.

I still don't know, but xrandr seems to play a role here, but I receive errors ** when trying to change S-video output to 640x480.

xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1
xrandr --addmode S-video 640x480 **
