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
nomodeset kernel option.Using Xrandr
To use the TVout on Radeon 7500 type following:
$ xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1$ xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600$ xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600
And set mode PAL or NTSC with:
$ xrandr --output S-video --set tv_standard ntsc
If you want to use XVideo overlay on TV, try following command:
$ xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1
