tv-out only works with the ATOMTvOut option. Please try xf86-video-ati git master. It looks like Apple has a fake edid for tv-out. To work around it. start with the ATOMTvOut option and the tv disconnected. Then force tv-out on using driver options or xrandr; finally plug in the tv. I have exactly the same problem here. I even tried it with the git-master version, but the problem still exists. Also if I force xrandr to set the output without the connector pluged in and plugging it in afterwards doesn't help. ATOMTvOut is enebled. > tv-out only works with the ATOMTvOut option. Please try

[ Still trying to get it to work :-( ]
I'm afraid the above instructions aren't detailed enough for my little head.
IIUC, "start with the ATOMTvOut option and the tv disconnected" means
I should start with
Option "ATOMTvOut" "TRUE"
and with the DVI->video adapter disconnected. What about the other options:
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "TVDACLoadDetect" "off"
Option "TVStandard" "ntsc"
Option "ForceTVOut" "true"
Then comes: "Then force tv-out on using driver options or xrandr".
Now I do not know what that means. I don't think I have much control
over driver options once the X server is started, and I see nothing in
xrandr that would allow me to "force tv-out" in xrandr.
Finally: "finally plug in the tv", I guess that means to plug both the
DVI->video adapter and the TV, right?

The problem is the mac tv adapter provides a fake edid for TV. The driver needs to special case that edid for tv since no tv's provide edids normally.
