Hi all.I only tested it very briefly, but TV-out also worked on my R200 (Radeon 8500) without fb-console. Here's what I did:
I know this is not exactly the perfect list for this, but then again it does have a lot of people who know how the Radeon ticks, so...
I have been using the Radeon Framebuffer driver in the kernel. I use it mainly for mplayer, as my card (VIVO) only puts a signal out the SVideo cable when I boot to a framebuffer console. If someone has an alternate method of turning on TV-out (maybe even in X) then please tell me.
turn computer off
plug in s-video cable and connect it to tv (tv-grabber card for my test)
turn computer on
mplayer -vo vesa:vidix movie
then the movie was displayed on both my regular monitor and tv-out
Anyway, I just changed motherboards (long sad story) and now if I try to boot to a Radeon framebuffer with the SVideo cable attached, the monitor goes into power-saving mode, and the signal gets cut from the TV as soon as the framebuffer mode is activated. It looks like a sync-out-of-range problem. I have tried EVERY vga=xxx mode. Sometimes the monitor will stay on, but never the TV.
It works fine with the standard vesa framebuffer, but I am also trying to get Enlightenment-0.17 working through DirectFB, so I'd rather not give up on the Radeon drivers just yet...
Anyone know what's happening / how to fix it?
Thanks!
Dan
