atitvout works but colors are inverse
hi
I got the TV out of my Sony Vaio Laptop's Radeon Mobility M6 working with atitvout!
When I am in a text based console I can do
#atitvout -f t
and everything shows up fine on the tv. But when I am in a graphical terminal and do the same, i get the colors inverted (white is black, black is white and so on). And when I change back, the screen of the laptop is much too bright untill I restart X.
I tried 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480: no differences in colors.
Any ideas how to get the colors right?
should i change horiz./vert. refresh rates, too?
thanks
stefan

I too am currently struggling with this. Im on a sony vaio laptop with the mobility 7500 chip, not sure if this is the m6 or maybe m7? Im running kde 3.2.3 under mandrake 10.1 and used the mandrake rpm for atitvout. What actually happens for me is I force over to the TV output and it looks fine but as soon as any kind of graphical change occurs, ie move the mouse or hit the menu key or anything, the screen inverts. If i force back to the lcd I too get the heavy white saturation. If i do a quick resolution change everything is back to normal and working fine. Any more help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
