Thanks for the reply. Some confusion comes where my definition of a batch is having more then one test as a single executable collection and where each test does not have dialog requests (Phoronix's...

I would like an example of more than one test of someone using the batch-run option. This mode works fine for a single test but I had assumed the following:

I finally got component working and have my main monitor as my HDTV at 1920x1080i under Ubuntu 7.10

It was faily easy as I broke down and bought a Nvidia 8600GTS for $160 CDN. Driver installation...

I gave Hellanzb a try and it worked but I am sticking with Newsbin Pro. Hellanzb reported too many errors when unraring the downloads recommending that I use command line par2. Each time I used Par2...

Running a Windows desktop, I had already purchased Newsbin Pro at a discount with my Giganews account. I am used to it so I tried it under WINE and it works great. I never bothered to check out any...

I have been battling with the ATI component video issue for months now. In previous posts I found others all having the same problems you guys describe.

I would also like to dump Windows but the...

Sorry I did not get back to you sooner but I was sick since for a week and had not touched the computer.

I have an ATI X1800 which uses a Svideo/Component connection rather than a Dongle for the card to Component interface. Where on the ATI Control Panel did you see an option to enable the dongle? I did...

If you do find out where the Component Video settings are stored please post or PM me. You obviously have had your component video output working at some time.

Unfortunately I have never found...

Please ask the developers for:
1) Better aticonfig documentation for “--validate-cvmode” argument including a few examples. Examples are the most important.
2) A “xorg.conf” file for a working...

First I had read in another post on this forum that the 42.3.2 driver had TVOUT issues and that they had been fixed with the 7.11 driver.

As for the off color issues I believe that TVOUT forces...

Thanks for the information and any you get through the driver feedback submission.

Actually the postings I made in this thread was from a driver feedback submission (8.40 at the time). I had...

Sounds like you are a little ahead of me as the aticonfig command like does not show any TV on my configuration.

I suspect that component video is not enabled unless your HDTV returns EDID...

As I have not received any forum help to get my HDTV connected via the Component Video I opened a ticket with ATI support requesting the following:
1) Better aticonfig documentation for...

If you successfully installed the drivers then did you enable the ATI restricted drivers (System>Administration>Restricted Drivers Manager)?

Yes, I have tried a number of combinations including forcing TVout to "on" all to no avail. After exhausting "aticonfig" as an option I had hoped that the Catalyst Control Centre would work but that...

A little more to add from previous post:

The Catalyst Control Center appears to work. My remaining issue is to get the component video output to work as I normally use my HDTV as my main monitor...
