    Default radeonhd + TVOut

    I try to use tvout
    Code:
    Video card: AGP x1950 Pro
    Linux: gentoo-2.6.27-gentoo-r8 x86_64
    xorg-server-1.5.3-r3
    x11-apps/xrandr-1.2.3
    x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.4
    I have read the documentation
    Code:
    http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd
    and have made a xorg.conf
    Code:
    Section "Device"
            Identifier  "Card0"
            Driver      "radeonhd"
            VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
            BoardName   "RV570 [Radeon X1950 Pro]"
            Option      "monitor-DVI-I_1/digital"  "Monitor0"
            Option      "monitor-TV_SVIDEO"        "TV"
            Option      "RROutputOrder" "Monitor0"
            BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Monitor"
            Identifier   "Monitor0"
            VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
            ModelName    "Monitor Model"
            Option       "DPMS"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Monitor"
           Identifier   "Monitor1"
            Identifier      "TV"
            Option      "RightOf" "Monitor0"
    EndSection
    My xrandr --verbose

                    RANDR_SIGNAL_FORMAT: unknown
    but there is not effect ( TV-out show the picture only in the virtual terminal, not under the xorg...

    Is it a possible to use tv-out for watch the novies with this version of driver?
    because man radeonhd
    Code:
    DESCRIPTION
           radeonhd is an Xorg driver for AMD GPG (ATI) R5xx/R6xx/R7xx based video cards.
           · No TV and Component connector support so far.
    thanks

    Right; I don't think tvout for 5xx/6xx has been ported from radeon to radeonhd yet. TVout for your GPU is only in the radeon (xf86-video-ati) driver.

    I've tried to use x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.11.0, but the same settings of xorg.conf show me on start xorg...
    Code:
    (II) RADEON(0): Skipping TV-Out
    (II) RADEON(0): Skipping Component Video
    Why?

    Try entering a manual mode for NTSC (look up the modeline for NTSC on the mythtv wiki and paste the numbers in the newmode parameter.) That might work better.

    However, I think TV out has not been thoroughly tested and debugged, so you might want to get get in touch with the devs and report it as a bug.

    (((
    Code:
    TV-out not working when a LCD monitor is connected.
    
          The TV-out module needs the driver to use the correct mode in order to get TV-out. ("800x600": 40.0 MHz, 37.9 kHz, 60.3 Hz)

    You need 6.11.0 or git master and Option "ATOMTvOut" "true" in the device section of your config to use tv out on atom based cards. It's not enabled by default as there are still issues in some cases.
