How reliable is the radeonfeature wiki? (aka R400 tvout?)
R400 now has TVOUT? When did that happen?
I sure hope its true, Im compiling now.
And overall, how reliable is that wiki? http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature is the url Im talking about.
unless im doing it wrong..
xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
xrandr: cannot find output "S-video"
R420 video card.. maybe the opensource radeon driver doesnt really have R4xx tvout support?

Xorg.0.log has:
(II) RADEON(0): Skipping TV-Out
(II) RADEON(0): Skipping Component Video
tvout does work via svideo via fglrx (and also works in xp)
I just think the wiki is wrong, unless I missed a big update to the driver.
Edit: it looks like "FabioPedretti" edited the wiki on the 6th to change the R400 status to DONE.

It's a wiki, so please stop ranting and blaming contributors and contribute yourself if you have updated informations.Originally Posted by grazzt
What version of the driver are you running? And from where?
Currently using the Dec 14 packages from
http://ppa.launchpad.net/tormodvolde...org-video-ati/
Ah! Same ones I'm using. Good stuff.
Those should enable the latest features as long as your copy of mesa is recent. You may want to enquire directly with the driver developers to see if that feature is in the near-future pipeline.
You can see the actual changes to the driver as they're committed, by following the log at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/dri...video-ati/log/
