I'm using the git xf86-video-ati driver from today. My TV is connected with a composite cable. I get the following output: $ xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 xrandr: cannot find output "S-video" $ xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 $ And nothing appears on the TV. $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1280 VGA-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 338mm x 270mm 1280x1024 60.0*+ 59.9 1152x864 75.0 74.8 1024x768 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 DVI-0 disconnected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 0mm x 0mm It seems s-video is hardcoded in several places, so I tried hardcoding to composite instead (see patch I'll attach next). With that patch: $ xrandr --addmode Composite 800x600 xrandr: cannot find output "Composite" $ xrandr --output Composite --mode 800x600 $ The output of xrandr looks the same as above. In either case, there is no mention of TV-out anywhere in my Xorg.0.log: $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i tv DAC Type -- TVDAC/ExtDAC (II) RADEON(0): No MM_TABLE found - assuming CARD is not TV-in capable. $
Created attachment 11316 [details] [review] composite_tv-out.patch Replaces two places where I found S-video hardcoded... But as mentioned above, still doesn't work.
tv out is only supported on radeons with integrated tv-out (everything but the original r100 and r200). These cards use an external theater chip which is not supported yet.
I see, sorry for the noise then, closing LATER. For completeness, my card is: PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R200 QL [Radeon 8500 LE] rev 0, Mem @ 0xd0000000/27, 0xdfef0000/16, I/O @ 0x6800/8, BIOS @ 0xdfec0000/17 (--) Chipset ATI Radeon 8500 QL (AGP) found (--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon 8500 QL (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x514c)
Mass reopen. The "LATER" resolution is lame, I'm deleting it. Consider LATER to have arrived.
Mass closure: This bug has been untouched for more than six years, and is not obviously still valid. Please reopen this bug or file a new report if you continue to experience issues with current releases.
