Radeon 7000 TV-OUT


I am having some problems with getting my ATI Radeon 7000 to properly use it's tv-out port with Slackware 10. I am using xorg.

First, when the computer initially boots everything is shown in the 16:9 aspect ratio. And, on the tv, the entire picture is scrolling up.

Once X loads, the aspect ratio goes back to full screen, but the tv picture becomes totally distorted, and I can barely tell that it is my desktop.

I am using the "radeon" driver in my Xorg.conf. I believe I am using the gatos driver, but the install documentation of gatos was so confusing, I don't know if its installed or not.

Xorg.conf is also set to load dri and glx.

Glx gears appears to be working fine, getting about 50 fps.

This is a PCI card, if that makes any difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Johnnabn

Did you ever get this working? I'm having an almost identical problem.

If so, any tips? xorg.conf ?

Thanks!
