Does anyone have any experience with configuring s-video ports on ATI
graphics cards? I've been trying to get mine working with no luck. I
can't even seem to see it with atitvout:
# atitvout -r tvout
Forcing Radeon/Rage 128 mode
VBE call failed.
Maybe this command is not supported by your graphics adapter?
Did your parameters (if you specified some) really make sense?
Please try all other available commands before complaining!
#
Same
result without -r. I've tried more configurations than I care to
remember - nothing even caused so much as a flicker on the s-video.
The card is a pci based card and lspci shows it as follow:
00:09.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (rev 01)
00:09.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (Secondary) (rev 01)
Here's
the relevant stuff from my current config. I've also tried the 'vesa'
driver on the second device (for the s-video) with no luck. I've also
tried fglrx and tried detecting/controlling the s-video using fglrx's
accompanying aticonfig utility - nada! (I couldn't even get fglrx to bring up the main display - tried both the fedora version and the one from the ati website)
Any help would be appreciated.
