how to enable tv-out with xrandr using fglrx drivers?

[Heiko]

I wanted to try to setup my dual-head configuration using xrandr, instead of aticonfig (using the 9.3 fglrx driver). So I reconfigured using:

aticonfig --set-pcs-str="DDX,EnableRandr12,TRUE"

As I understood, this is necessary to enable Randr 1.2.
Thereafter I made a backup of my xorg.conf, removed and did:

aticonfig --initial --adapter=0 -f

To force a clean xorg.conf.
Now I had my monitor working and by default my tv shows a cloned image.

So, I tried to setup my tv-out, but I get the following error message:

xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
xrandr: cannot find output "S-video"

When I query xrandr I get the following:
xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024
default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm

400x300 75.0 60.0
320x240 75.0 60.0
320x200 75.0 60.0

Is there anything I'm doing wrong? My tv is connected via a composite/s-video output on my HD3450. My motherboard contains an HD3200 as well, there is no monitor connected to the HD3200 but I am using hybrid crossfire and that is working fine.

Anybody ever tried this with the closed source Ati driver (fglrx)? Is there anybody for whom this does work?

xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
xrandr: cannot find output "S-video"

[Heiko]

Can anybody confirm whether xrandr 1.2 should be working with the official Ati driver and tv-out? Please let me know if you have this working, or if you know whether it should be working or not (so I know if I should stop looking or not...).

It seems to work again with fglrx 9.4:

Now only I have to find out how to setup two separate desktops with xrandr (can move the mouse from one to another, but can't drag windows from one to another).
