How to get TV-Out working on ATI graphic cards

2009-05-27T22:57:39Z

Cosmotron: Added note of a successful test on a T42 w/ Radeon 9600

This HOWTO should help you enable TV-Out support on your ATI Radeon or ATI Rage based ThinkPad.

{{NOTE|This page is not applicable to recent ATI Radeon Mobility chips. See [[ATI Mobility Radeon X300]] for a discussion.}}

{{NOTE|If your using a distribution with KMS (Kernel Mode Setting), such as Fedora 11 then you will not have S-video support. This is a known issue. The only workaround is by booting with the {{bootparm|nomodeset|}} kernel option.}}
== Using Xrandr ==

To use the TVout on Radeon 7500 type following:

{{ cmduser | xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1 }}
{{ cmduser | xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 }}
{{ cmduser | xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 }}

And set mode PAL or NTSC with:
{{cmduser | xrandr --output S-video --set tv_standard ntsc }}

If you want to use XVideo overlay on TV, try following command:
{{ cmduser | xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1 }}
